Köp båda 2 för 456 krthe collection of insightful essays on various aspects of eschatology brings the majority world theology series to a fitting conclusion. especially significant is the way these essays connect a robust christian hope, and the biblical eschatology that supports it, with present christian existence and public witness in particular cultures. let us hope that these and other voices continue to speak, and that this ending of a series is also a beginning – the beginning of still more contextualized theologies and practices of hope, especially where people and the rest of god’s creation are suffering.

With this volume, Gene Green, Stephen Pardue, and K. K. Yeo offer us an introduction to the expansive landscape of eschatologies in the Majority World. Wide-ranging in location and in topic but grounded in specifics, each essay offers nuanced reflection from Africa, Asia, and Latin America on concepts like death, hope, and the kingdom of God. Each contributor challenges us to remember that hope abstracted from the realities of colonization, imperialism, and oppression is not true hope and reinforces how eschatology affects everything from exegesis to ethics.

Eschatology remains a fascinating and often deeply contentious part of Christian theology. But as Christianity’s center of gravity moves ever more decisively outside the West, how does that affect attitudes to themes from apocalyptic, to Zionism, to the nature of God’s kingdom? How are such ideas reinterpreted against the diverse cultural and political backgrounds of Africa, Asia and Latin America? In a rich and intriguing collection of essays, All Things New explores and expounds ideas that have inspired thinkers since the earliest Christian ages. A thoughtful and rewarding collection.

Like the rudder of a vessel, though less noticed, eschatology sets a direction for God’s people (or oikumene) in diverse contexts. The unfolding of God’s plan informs and guides today’s church to faithfully bear witness to God’s salvation. Thus, this book serves as the fitting conclusion and climax of this ground-breaking Majority Theology series.
