An Introduction to Christian Faith (English and German Edition)

Eschatology has moved from the periphery to the very heart of theological interest. In Faith and the Future, three noted theologians, Walter Kasper, Gerald O'Collins, and Raymond E. Brown, present their own views on themes of eschatology. Bishop Walter Kasper surveys the development of eschatological thought in twentieth-century Protestant and Catholic theology and shows how the various dimensions of this aspect of Christian faith express the role of God's plan for the future. Gerald O'Collins, S.J., explores the possibilities which might lie in reorientation of eschatological thought toward more explicit accentuation of the theme of love. He proposes eight major characteristics of love which shape its integrating role in eschatology. Finally, Raymond E. Brown, S.S., studies in detail the eschatological phenomena associated in the gospels with Jesus' crucifixion. He notes particularly the raising of the holy ones from their tombs (Matt 27:51-53). This detailed examination of these brief yet complex biblical passages provides an example of methodical procedures and balanced judgment needed in the interpretation of all eschatological assertions and apocalyptic imagery. Faith and the Future provides an in-depth introduction to major aspects of contemporary biblical and theological reexamination of eschatological questions. These scholarly essays will enlighten both students and teachers of theology as well as provide a unique resource for those who wish to expand their knowledge of biblical scholarship.
