Written by nine Christian thinkers, "The Last Things" offers fresh interpretations of the major themes in eschatology: the end of the world, return of Christ, resurrection of the dead, and final judgment. The contributors offer ecumenical perspectives that cast a promising image of the future for our postmodern culture.
In modern theology the "last things" of traditional Christian doctrine have largely been ignored or replaced with various metaphysical, psychological, or ethical reinterpretations of Christianity. This volume takes the biblical vision of the future seriously once again, explaining the significance of Christian eschatology for the faith and theology of the contemporary church. Contributors: Carl E. Braaten, Paul D. Hanson, Arland J. Hultgren, Robert W. Jenson, Philip D. W. Krey, John A. McGuckin, George L. Murphy, David Novak, Wolfhart Pannenberg
