It addresses topics such as the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the hope of a new heaven and new earth. Throughout church history, eschatological teaching has shaped Christian hope and perseverance, from the writings of the early fathers to modern debates about the millennium, tribulation, and kingdom of God. These resources help readers discern what Scripture teaches about the future while grounding them in the assurance of Christ's victory. Eschatology also speaks to present discipleship, reminding believers that how we live now matters in light of eternity.

Again and again, Revelation has stirred some dangerous men and women to act out their own private apocalypses. Above all, the moral calculus of Revelation—the demonization of one's enemies, the sanctification of revenge taking, and the notion that history must end in catastrophe\u0026amp;#8212can be detected in some of the worst atrocities and excesses of every age, including our own.

Will we, individually or collectively, ride off to glory, or will we drown in hellfire for all eternity?

All of these structures are supposed to serve the end of unity.However, from time to time some of them deviate from their initial purpose and contribute to disunity. This happens because the structures of the Church are not a part of its nature and can therefore turn against it. They are like scaffolding, which facilitates the construction and maintenance of a building without actually being part of it. Likewise, ecclesial structures help the Church function in accordance with its nature but should not be identified with the Church proper.Scaffolds of the Church considers the evolution of some of these structures and evaluates their correspondence to their initial rationale. It focusses on particular structures that have developed in the eastern part of the Christian oecumene, such as patriarchates, canonical territory, and autocephaly, all of which are explored in the more general frame of hierarchy and primacy.

That question increasingly bothered scientists and philosophers in the modern period as they chipped away at previously imagined \"certainties.\" They refused to take on trust the \"special revelation\" of the Christian Bible, trying instead to argue up to God from the \"natural\" world. That is the theme of the Gifford Lectures, inaugurated over 130 years ago.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis natural theology has usually bracketed out the Bible and Jesus - and with them, usually, the scholars who study them.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eHistory and Eschatology: Jesus and the Promise of Natural Theology represents the first Gifford delivered by a New Testament scholar since Rudolf Bultmann in 1955. Against Bultmann's dehistoricized approach, N. T. Wright argues that, since the philosophical and cultural movements that generated the natural theology debates also treated Jesus as a genuine human being - part of the \"natural world\" - there is no reason the historical Jesus should be off-limits. What would happen if we brought him back into the discussion? What, in particular, might \"history\" and \"eschatology\" really mean? And what might that say about \"knowledge\" itself?  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis lively and wide-ranging discussion invites us to see Jesus himself in a different light by better acquainting ourselves with the first-century Jewish world. Genuine historical study challenges not only what we thought we knew but how we know it. The crucifixion of the subsequently resurrected Jesus, as solid an event as any in the \"natural\" world, turns out to meet, in unexpected and suggestive ways, the puzzles of the ultimate questions asked by every culture. At the same time, these events open up vistas of the eschatological promise held out to the entire natural order. The result is a larger vision, both of \"natural theology\" and of Jesus himself, than either the academy or the church has normally expected.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e-Publisher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe question of 'natural theology' interlocks with the related questions of whether we can conceive of God acting in the world at all, as well as why, if God is God, evil persists in the world. Can specific events in history, like those reported in the Gospels, afford the necessary point from which to ask and answer such questions? Widely shared cultural and philosophical presumptions have conditioned our understanding of history in ways that truncate our epistemic horizons and make the idea of historical divine action problematic. But could better historical study itself win from ancient Jewish and Christian cosmology and eschatology a renewed account of knowledge by which to open up and reconsider the fundamental question of the relation of God and world for today? Professor Wright argues that this can indeed be done, and in this ground-breaking book he develops a distinctive approach to natural theology grounded in an 'epistemology of love'. This approach arises from reflection upon the significance of the ancient concept of the 'new creation' for our understanding the reality of the world and the reality of God in relation to one another.

In recent years, however, views have been modified and developed so that the dialogue is increasingly by cooperation and a mutual exploration of diverse ideas. The Case for Progressive Dispensationalism is intended to enlighten the debate in that same irenic spirit. The book is solidly dispensational in perspective in affirming that the Old Testament prophecies are completely fulfilled in the future, that the nation of Israel has a prophetic future, and that Israel is not the church. Dr. Saucy departs from classic dispensationalism, however, in showing that (1) the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy begins in the present church age, and (2) the church is not a parenthesis in God's program but represents a continuity with the Old Testament messianic program.

Overall science paints a picture of a future of futility and therefore poses question to a Christian theology of hope. This book argues that the Christian understanding of new creation, when applied beyond the life of the believer or indeed the church, speaks powerfully into this context, giving resources to both theologians and scientists to engage fruitfully with the questions of the end of the Universe. This book explores the future of the universe in the light of modern science, popular culture such as movies and science fiction, and \"pop eschatology\" such as the best-selling *Left Behind series.* The book argues that Christian theology can learn and contribute in a dialogue with the scientific picture of the future of the Universe.  Using a Wesleyan approach to theology, the biblical narratives are explored in conversation with the scientific discoveries. If Christian eschatology is to have a fruitful dialogue, then it must take seriously the relationship between creation and new creation. In particular this relationship, modelled by the resurrection, must be represented by a tension between continuity and discontinuity. In this way the movement to new creation is seen as tranformation rather than destruction of this creation. Indeed, there are pointers to this new creation which may be part of a revised natural theology. The action and faithfulness of God are both key elements in this tranformation working both in process and event. Contemporary theologians including Moltmann and Pannenberg either ignore this tension or fail to relate it to the physical Universe. At the same time the \"scientific eschatologies\" of Dyson and Tipler, and the eschatological speculations of contemporary fundamentalism are shown to be inadequate scientifically and technologically. This tension leads to the suggestion that space and time are real in creation and new creation, and a multi-dimensional view of God's relationship with time is proposed. Further, speculation on the tranformation of matter in new creation needs to reflect its relationality and context.  The consequences for the relationship of Christian eschatology to the biological world, providence, hope, ethics, and Christian apolgoetics are explored. In particular such a robust Christian eschatology engages constructively with questions of hope in contemporary culture.  \u003cbr\u003e***-Publisher.***  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoes matter matter? The scientific picture of the end of the physical Universe has undergone dramatic changes since the turn of the 21st century, with its future characterized by accelerated expansion and futility. Yet Christian theology has been largely silent on this, despite the interest in eschatology in popular culture and in theology itself. What can Christian theology learn from and contribute to the scientific picture of the future of the Universe? Can the biblical narratives of creation and new creation have a fruitful dialogue with scientific discoveries? David Wilkinson shows what a fruitful dialogue this can be. Critiquing the folk eschatology of the Left Behind series, the misguided faith of the scientific optimists and the lack of scientific engagement of the theologians of hope, Wilkinson argues for a rediscovery of the theological theme of new creation and the centrality of bodily resurrection.  \u0026gt;","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562936041759,"sku":"9780567045461","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780567045461_68111.jpg?v=1769161154"},{"product_id":"eschatology-in-the-old-testament-129122","title":"Eschatology in the Old Testament","description":"The future has always been a subject of immense fascination.

Why is resurrection described as a person's transformation into an angelic being? How many abodes are appointed for the righteous and the wicked after death? Alexey Somov addresses these queries in relation to the apparent confusion and variety found in the text, and in respect of the interrelatedness of these issues, and their connection with other eschatological issues in Luke-Acts, and in relation to the wider cultural context of the Mediterranean world to which Luke belonged.Every culture expresses its beliefs by means of special metaphors that allow it to comprehend supernatural realities in terms of everyday experience. Belief in the afterlife was part of this metaphorical system which Luke shared with the ancient eastern Mediterranean culture. Somov takes his analysis one step further by applying Cognitive Metaphor Theory to selected metaphorical aspects of the afterlife. While the inconsistencies and incoherence of the combined metaphors may seem jarring to a contemporary Western reader, Somov's reading enables a recognition of the specific religious metaphors used, which for Luke would have been current and widely accepted.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563014324511,"sku":"9780567683847","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780567683847_1591918.jpg?v=1769163774"},{"product_id":"the-promised-end-165288","title":"The Promised End","description":"This book brings Christian theology, creative literature, and literary critical theory into dialogue on the theme of 'the end'.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563055186207,"sku":"9780631220855","price":92.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780631220855_40802.jpg?v=1769165388"},{"product_id":"rebuilding-the-temple-preparing-for-the-lords-return-625986","title":"Rebuilding the Temple: Preparing For the Lord's Return","description":"Chronicling the dramatic rise of the prophetic movement to build Israel's Third Temple, this updated and revised book looks at the painstaking preparations taking place to recreate the Temple vessels, as well as the use of DNA technology to identify priests for the restored Temple service.
