“Game Over” – Good or Bad News?Making Sense of EschatologyUniversity of Geneva, October 22–24, 2015How does the Christian faith think the “end”?From biblical perspectives to constructive systematic and ethical reinterpretations (including the visions of an “enhanced” human species) via historical studies of the Christian tradition broadly conceived, this conference seeks to raise anew the question of the meaning of “eschatology”.

there are at least three uninspected presumptions at work when Christians mumble on about "eschatology".
ReplyDeleteThey are:
1. A reductionist misunderstanding of the nature of the world (as a "given" objective phenomenon)
2. A reductionist misunderstanding of the nature of the presumed separate "self"
3. A misunderstanding of the purpose & significance of death, and the understanding of death as the key to right life.
