"'William La Due's study on eschatology is a useful overview of the diverse meanings of eschatology, both personal and collective, in the Biblical and historical traditions and in key modern theologians. La Due introduces readers not only to what eschatology has meant, but summons them to grapple with what it might mean in their own lives.' Rosemary Radford Ruether, Carpenter Professor of Feminist theology, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, California 'Students of theology, and other inquirers willing to make a serious time commitment, will be grateful to the author for a methodical journey through the twentieth-century theological writers who have addressed the content of Christian hope and the sense of risk as to the outcome of human lives and history.' Monika K. Hellwig, President of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities"
