Description |
Will the universe be destroyed and discarded, or redeemed and transformed with God's consummation of all things? This course considers these and related questions by examining biblical and philosophical foundations for Christian reflections on the beginning and end of the world; significant historical and contemporary theological contributions (e.g., lrenaeus, Origen, Calvin, Moltmann, Ruether, McFague); the significance of the incarnation and resurrection of Jesus Christ; the influence of ecological consciousness, religious pluralism, modern and postmodern scientific thought; varieties of Christian eschatology; and the role of apocalyptic thinking in contemporary culture. |
