This work continues Thiel’s development of a theology of eschatology, which he began in \u003ci\u003eIcons of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e, a major contribution to the field. In that book and this, he fully yet succinctly engages the tradition to shape a compelling and quite original view of ‘last things’ and how such a view can and should shape our views of time and being in time.” —Julia A.
