Lutheran theologian Schwarz magnificently surveys the entire spectrum of Christian beliefs on the last days: the coming of the Messiah, the last judgment, and final human destiny. He interacts with leading modern theologians and meets the objections posed by science, philosophy, and New Age beliefs. 'Christian eschatology is needed today, perhaps more than ever, to provide for us both a perspective of the future and, even more importantly, a guiding light showing us how to pursue life meaningfully in the present,' he writes. 'I do not presume to know all the answers. But I do believe that I know who is the answer.' |
