Theology and Eschatology at the Turn of the Millennium: Directions in Modern Theology

Our goal of this volume is to bring together students of Scripture, the history of Christianity, and various contemporary theologies so that readers can consider and debate the ways diverse and often conflicting eschatological narratives, images and beliefs might bear on the new millennium. It is also intended to inspire debate amongst readers about how these diverse uses of eschatology can make the millennium a parable of more significant, and holy, endings.

About the series

Born out of the journal Modern Theology, the Directions in Modern Theology book series provides issues focussed on important theological topics and texts in current debate within that discipline, whilst looking at broader contemporary topics from a theological perspective. It analyses notions and thinkers, as well as examining a wide spectrum of 'modern' theological eras: from late medieval through to the Enlightenment and up until the present 'post-modern' movements. Attracting distinguished theologians from a world-wide base, the book series develops what is a unique forum for international debate on theological concerns.
