Summary:

This final volume of Moltmann's systematics centers on hope, thus completing a trajectory begun some three decades ago in his Theology of Hope. Eshatology, Moltmann contends, is often thought to deal with the End, the last day, the last act--God has the final word. But Christian eschatology has nothing to do with the apocalypse, but is about new creation.
