The delay of the Parousia-the second coming of Christ-has vexed
Christians since the final decades of the first century. This
volume offers a critical, constructive, and interdisciplinary
solution to that dilemma. The argument is grounded in Christian
tradition while remaining fully engaged with the critical insights
and methodological approaches of twenty-first-century scholars. The
authors argue that the deferral of Christ's prophesied return
follows logically from the conditional nature of ancient predictive
prophecy: Jesus has not come again because God's people have not
yet responded sufficiently to Christ's call for holy and godly
action. God, in patient mercy, remains committed to cooperating
with humans to bring about the consummation of history with Jesus'
return.Collaboratively written by an interdisciplinary and
ecumenical team of scholars, the argument draws on expertise in
biblical studies, systematics, and historical theology to fuse
critical biblical exegesis with a powerful theological paradigm
that generates an apophatic and constructive Christian eschatology.
The authors, however, have done more than tackle a daunting
theological problem: as the group traverses issues from higher
criticism through doctrine and into liturgy and ethics, they
present an innovative approach for how to do Christian theology in
the twenty-first-century academy.
