How does the eschatological future impinge on the present? Is the
kingdom of God present outside the confession of Christ in
movements towards social justice? Is Christian hope a stimulus to
social involvement or an alternative? And how does the present
impinge on the eschatological future? What is the relationship
between our actions now and the new creation? Is there
eschatological continuity between the two? Jurgen Moltmann, one of
our most influential contemporary theologians, has had much to say
both on eschatology and its relationship to mission. This book
explores his thought along with evangelical responses to it.
Eschatology has been central to evangelical debates about social
involvement ever since the Laussanne Congress in 1974. The book
examines how evangelicals themselves have related hope and mission.
The book highlights the important contribution Moltmann has made
while offering a critique of his thought from an evangelical
perspective. In so doing, it touches on pertinent issues for
evangelical missiology. The conclusion takes John Calvin as a
starting point, proposing 'an eschatology of the cross' which
offers a critique of the over-realized eschatologies in liberation
theology and triumphalistic forms of evangelicalism.
