KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - s4story -- "Eschatology is not just about how humanity will be judged on the last day but how we live our lives every day," she argues. "Eschatology is not simply about our ultimate destruction but rather how we construct and conduct our human existence daily. Eschatology is an existential endeavor that every pastor and preacher who wrestles with the will of God for all of creation must take up with earnest intentionality."

Through a standardized format for easy following, each of the 12 chapters considers the eschatological beliefs of a different preacher as well as the manner in which those beliefs shape the style and content of that leader's ministry. Prominent theologians include Emile Townes, Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, Walter Raushenbusch, Martin Luther King Jr., James Cone, Jurgen Moltmann, Elisabeth Schussler Fiorena, Patrick Cheng and Nancy Eiesland.
