{"product_id":"eschatological-imagination","title":"Eschatological Imagination","description":"In the twentieth century, Christian eschatology, the doctrine about the final reality, became a storm center for Christian systematic theologians because of the rediscovery of the eschatological character of Jesus Christ. In the twenty-first century, Christian theologians continue to wrestle with the claims of Christian eschatology because of a postmodern suspicion of eschatological certainty claims about a future that is, after all, objectively unavailable, yet still of great human concern. Human beings live on hope for the future. \u003ci\u003eAn Eschatological Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e recognizes the problem of the future for Christian eschatology. Building on the major theological writings of David Tracy, it offers a revised way of thinking and living eschatologically in the form of an eschatological imagination as a rhetoric of virtue, an exhortation to live in Christian hope in a postmodern world and into an objectively unavailable and uncertain future. Within such a rhetoric, hope becomes action – not mere sentiment – that seeks to create a Christian eschatological future.","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223630434648,"sku":"9781433102271","price":68.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433102271_a2f17b5d-620d-40d7-a9d1-d718559d7687.jpg?v=1764727253","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/eschatological-imagination","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
