Is the kingdom of God present outside the confession of Christ in movements towards social justice? Is Christian hope a stimulus to social involvement or an alternative? And how does the present impinge on the eschatological future? What is the relationship between our actions now and the new creation? Is there eschatological continuity between the two? Jurgen Moltmann, one of our most influential contemporary theologians, has had much to say both on eschatology and its relationship to mission.

In so doing, it touches on pertinent issues for evangelical missiology. The conclusion takes John Calvin as a starting point, proposing 'an eschatology of the cross' which offers a critique of the over-realized eschatologies in liberation theology and triumphalistic forms of evangelicalism., Neu, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Publication Year: 2006, Language: English, Book Title: Mission and the Coming of God: Eschatology, The Trinity and Mission in the Theology of Jurgen Moltmann, Item Height: 228mm, Topic: Christianity, Item Width: 152mm, Item Weight: 436g, Number of Pages: 282 Pages, Send T.H.E.
