By C. Mostert on September 9, 2005
Format: Paperback
This book by Brian Daley is a wonderful resource for those who want to ascertain whether the hope by which Christians live in the present is the same hope as that by which Christians after New Testament times lived and for which many died. The book is a goldmine of information and insight; it is beautifully written and helpfully structured. The notes are a splendid tool for further research, as is the excellent bibliography. Daley concludes that there is an 'eschatological consensus', though it is expressed in very varied forms. This is the work of a first-rate scholar and an elegant writer.

Jesuit Father Brian Daley is a Notre Dame University professor (Notre Dame has a small number of Jesuit professors and doctoral students who live in a house of studies, but is not a Jesuit university) honored by Pope Benedict XVI for his accomplishments in theology. Here he offers a brilliant scholarly synthesis of patristic (early Christian) eschatology, or study of the last things and the second coming of Christ. It's not for popular audiences, but this is the book to read if you want to know what the early Church Fathers believed about death/judgment/heaven/hell and the end of the world. Excellent stuff.
