{"product_id":"eschatology-liturgy-and-christology-toward-recovering-an-eschatological-imagination-9780814657355","title":"Eschatology, Liturgy and Christology: Toward Recovering an Eschatological Imagination","description":"\"If Christian hope is reduced to the salvation of the soul in a heaven beyond death,\" wrote J rgen Moltmann, \"it loses its power to renew life and change the world, and its flame is quenched.\" Thomas Rausch, SJ, agrees, arguing that too often the hoped-for eschaton has been replaced by an almost exclusive emphasis on the \"four last things\"-death and judgment, heaven and hell. But eschatology cannot be reduced to the individual salvation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his new book, Rausch explores eschatology's intersections with Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and, perhaps most intriguingly, liturgy. With the early Christians, he sees God's future as a radically social reality, already present initially in Christian worship, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist. This fresh and insightful work of theology engages voices both ancient and contemporary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas P.
