Hope in Action

This volume contends against a major lacuna in the story of eschatology inthe twentieth century by offering a historical and comparative analysis ofEdward Schillebeeckx's prophetic eschatology and Johann Baptist Metz's apocalyptic eschatology with the goal of identifying relative advantages and limitations of these divergent eschatological frameworks for renderinga Christian account of hope that prompts action in the public arena. Rodenborn provides a fresh angle on eschatologies of hope.
