The Future of Creation: Collected Essays"These essays do not merely represent stages in my progress from Theology of hope (1964) to The church in the power of the Spirit (1975)" ... , but are "also intended to illuminate the factual and methodological basis for the eschatological trend of this progress. My discussion about alternative views on eschatology and my ideas about the relationship between eschatology and the foundation of Christian ethics are to be read in this context. The essays on the theology of creation are designed to open up an eschatological concept of creation which will take in both 'creation at the beginning' and the promised 'new creation'. On the other hand they also aim to relate the eschatological hope to created reality."--Author's pref. |
