The Last Things Now by David L. Edwards is a thoughtful exploration of the Christian doctrine of the Last Things (eschatology), examining what the Bible and Christian tradition teach about death, resurrection, judgement, heaven, and the fulfilment of God's purposes.
Rather than treating these subjects as distant or speculative, Edwards shows how Christian hope for the future should shape the way believers live in the present. Combining biblical scholarship with pastoral insight, he explores the meaning of eternal life and the relevance of Christian hope in a modern world.
The book explores:
Christian teaching on death and eternal life
The resurrection of the dead
Heaven, judgement, and the Kingdom of God
Biblical eschatology and Christian hope
Living faithfully in the light of eternity
The relevance of the Last Things for contemporary faith
This title will appeal to readers interested in:
Christian eschatology and theology
Death, resurrection, and eternal life
Biblical studies and Christian doctrine
Anglican theology and pastoral reflection
Christian hope and spiritual formation
Written in a clear and accessible style, The Last Things Now encourages readers to move beyond fear and speculation, presenting the Christian hope of God's ultimate renewal of creation as a source of confidence and purpose.
