Description

Compassionate Eschatology: The Future as Friend explores how Christianity's teaching about the end times can center on Jesus' message of peace and reconciliation. A group of international scholars representing various Christian traditions examine the relationship between eschatology, compassion, and hope. This book offers a unique perspective on the Book of Revelation and other biblical materials, arguing that a peace-oriented reading is more in line with the doctrine of the last things. The authors also engage with the thought of Rene Girard and his mimetic theory, showing how this project reinforces the biblical message of eschatological peace. By bringing together diverse Christian perspectives, Compassionate Eschatology presents a fresh approach to understanding Christianity's teachings on the end times.
