In this volume, Professor Sauter challenges the kind of eschatology
he describes as a "theology of history," forcefully represented by
Wolfhart Pannenberg and Jurgen Moltmann. He brings this "theology
of history" into conversation with: (1) Albert Schweitzer's
"Konsequente Eschatologie," that is, eschatology that can only be
understood as expectation of imminent events, and (2) "radical
eschatology," which deals with the foundation of Christian hope or
with why we are allowed to hope in the first place. Drawing upon
the reformers' (Luther/Calvin) understanding of the biblical term
"promise," he defines the task of eschatology as establishing the
relationship between justification and hope as well as the
relationship between God's promise and our future. All Christians
are called to "give an account of the hope which is in you" (1 Pet.
3:15). Is this "hope" simply within us or among us? To interpret
thoroughly this sentence from all perspectives would be enough of
an assignment for eschatology. To lead readers toward this task and
to introduce them to eschatology's basic questions and related
intellectual experiences of theology is the intention of this book.
