Hope for your future : Theological Voices from the pastorate
Outline: What can Christians hope for? How do signs of God's reign shape the church's faith and life today? Where can we find the power to prevail in a culture that faces unprecendented forces of both life and death? These are the typs of questions discussed in the timely volume. By exploring the interrelation of the natural and social sciences with various biblical, theological, and ethical traditions this book develops a realistic eschatology that is both doctrinally faithful and contemporaneously intelligible. Written by a select group of pastor-theologians, these chapters look at the collaborative relationship between theology and science, particularly what both have to say about the nature and destiny of humans and the world. What these writers voice is peculiarly sensitive to contemporary culture and the practical needs of ordinary Christians, making this book a new kind of book on Christian eschatology, one that attempts to facilitate responsible Christian faith in and through active members of local congregations. The companion volume to Reading the Bible in Faith : Theological Voices from te Pastorate, this book offers a responsible proclamation of the Christian view of the future for today's scientific age.
