Summary
As the end of the twentieth century approaches, anxiety about the possible end of the world is becoming more evident in literature, popular culture, and public discourse. In this timely book, Ulrich Kortner addresses this issue of apocalyptic anxiety by offering a theological and philosophical evaluation of the apocalyptic. In particular, Kortner looks at how theology, responding in pastoral sensitivity, should deal with the fears present in this age of anxiety. Kortner.
concludes that real meaning and hope for the world is possible only after the world's inhabitants deal constructively with the stark reality of the world's end. This book should be read by anyone interested in the theological and philosophical aspects of apocalypticism.
