In the End, God...: A Study of the Christian Doctrine of the Last ThingsJames Clarke, 1950 - 128 páginas This is a book about 'the Last Things', the Christian doctrine of the destiny of history and of the individual. In recent times 'the Christian hope' has become so exclusively bound up with the question, 'what happens to me when I die?', that most of what the New Testament means by it -- the final restoration of the universe in the Second Coming of Christ -- has become irrelevant and even absurd to the modern man. Since the revolution in scientific criticism, the Church as made no revaluation of its myths of the Last Things in the way it was forced to do, a century ago, in relation to the First Things. The author shows how, when this is done, the Biblical teaching comes alive in the most forcible way in face of the great secular eschatologies of our day. 'The Last Things' are seen, not as remote events at the end of time, but as the due to the final issues of life and death introduced into history since the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. |
