Eschatology, Liturgy and Christology: Toward Recovering an Eschatological Imagination

by Thomas P. Rausch

"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 Thomas Rausch, SJ, agrees, arguing that too often the hoped-for eschaton has been replaced by an almost exclusive emphasis on the "four last things"-death and judgment, heaven and hell.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.
