商品簡介
Does matter matter? The scientific picture of the end of the physical universe has undergone dramatic changes since the turn of the 21st century, with its future characterized by accelerated expansion and futility. Yet Christian theology has been largely silent on this, despite the interest in eschatology in popular culture and in theology itself. What can Christian theology learn from and contribute to the scientific picture of the future of the universe? Can the biblical narratives of creation and new creation have a fruitful dialogue with scientific discoveries?
David Wilkinson shows what a fruitful dialogue this can be. Critiquing the folk eschatology of the Left Behind series, the misguided faith of the scientific optimists and the lack of scientific engagement of the theologians of hope, Wilkinson argues for a rediscovery of the theological theme of new creation and the centrality of bodily resurrection. Far from the destruction of this present universe, God's purposes are to be seen in a transformation of space, time, matter and relationships. The consequences for a robust engagement of Christian eschatology with questions of the physical future are to be seen in how Christians should think not just about the physical universe but the future of animals, belief in the soul, care of the environment, the science religion debate and how God acts in the universe.
