Originally published in English in 1988. Joseph Ratzinger's Eschatology remains internationally recognized as a leading text on the “last things" heaven and hell, purgatory and judgment, death and the immortality of the soul. This highly anticipated second edition includes a new foreword by Joseph Ratzinger I’ope Benedict XVI and a preface by theologian Peter Casarei la.
Eschatology presents a balanced perspective oi the doc trine at the center of Christian belief the Church's faith in eternal life. Recognizing the task of contemporary es chatology as “to marry perspectives, so that person and community, present and future, are seen in their unity,” Joseph Ratzinger brings together recent emphasis on the theology of hope for the future with the more traditional elements of the doctrine. I lis book has proven to be as timeless as it is timely. |
