Synopsis of Coming to Christ: A Study in Christian Eschatology

Coming to Christ provides a retrieval of the traditional Christian doctrine of eternal life through scripture and the history of theological reflection, while presenting the liturgy as primary theology since it addresses God directly. It traces back to Neanderthal man the reality of human hope that looks beyond death and demands final expression in eternal communion with God. This book examines Christian eschatology which developed not only through the universal experience of mankind, but through the Scriptures, and in the reception of the scriptures in the tradition of reflection of the church. The author discusses selectively representative Christian thinkers in the Patristic, Medieval, and Reformation periods, exposing the similarities between them. He then moves into the radically changed thinking of modern times, beginning with Kant and the liberal nineteenth century Protestant theology, as well as an examination of Protestant, Catholic Anglican, and Orthodox theologians to give a sense of range and scope of twentieth century eschatology. Also addressed are the contemporary issues of reincarnation from a Christian perspective, along with feminist and ecological eschatologies.
