Living Hope

"Eschatology," the theological name for the study of the end-time, often conjures up frightening concepts of the rapture, the final judgment, heaven and hell, Armageddon, and the anti-Christ. Fortunately, author David Jensen's theological approach offers a brighter perspective on the end-time as a time of hope when we'll see the full glory of the Kingdom of God, the resurrection of the body, and Christ's promised return.

David H. Jensen is Professor of Constructive Theology at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Texas. He is the author of Responsive Labor: A Theology of Work and editor of The Lord and Giver of Life: Perspectives on Constructive Pneumatology, also published by Westminster John Knox Press.
