Though evangelical Christians are united in the eschatological hope
of a new heaven and new earth, there is disagreement on the form
and significance of this belief. In this thoughtful collection of
essays, Stephen Williams traces the development of eschatological
theology in recent decades, interacting with significant thinkers
such as Jurgen Moltmann and in dialogue with fellow-evangelicals
such as Miroslav Volf. He then argues that our exact beliefs about
the world's future should affect our present activity less than
many people think. Love, rather than speculation about the last
things, should serve as the foundation of Christian social action
and responsibility. Moreover, if social action is properly
motivated by love, eschatological differences should not prevent
Christians from working co-operatively with each other in matters
of social activism. Stephen N. Williams (Ph.D., Yale University) is
Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological College in
Belfast, Northern Ireland. He is the author of Revelation and
Reconciliation and The Shadow of the Antichrist: Nietzsche's
Critique of Christianity.
