Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The author posits that Christianity is the first theological system that emphasizes a concrete teleology and points toward a final judgment for individuals and the whole of humanity. In examining the development of eschatology, the author situates Christianity within the broader context of religious thought, comparing it to the eschatological ideas of ancient religions like heathenism. Exploring the eschatology of the Old Testament, the author highlights its focus on future developments within the earthly realm, with an emphasis on the destiny of the people and theocracy rather than individual persons. The work then goes on to discuss the evolution of eschatology within Christianity. The author examines how early Christian eschatology was shaped by the expectation of Christâs imminent return, and how the delay of this return led to a more nuanced understanding of the process of redemption and the ethical dimensions of faith. This book offers valuable insights into the development of eschatology, enriching our understanding of how religious ideas and beliefs have evolved over time.
