A clear, authoritative look at what the Bible says about the end times and the coming kingdom. This edition translates a key section of a systematic Christian-doctrine work, offering careful analysis of eschatology, Christ’s second coming, and the fate of humanity within God’s plan.
Grounded in Scripture, it surveys how early and modern thinkers have understood apostasy, the millennium, and the relationship between faith, history, and the world to come. The discussion stays focused on the framework of Christian hope, the role of the church, and the nature of the future resurrection and transformation.
Ideal for readers of theology, church history, and religious philosophy, this edition provides a thoughtful path through complex questions about the future state.

Excerpt from Dorner on the Future State: Being a Translation of the Section of His System of Christian Doctrine Comprising the Doctrine of the Last Things
I should be doing Dr. Dorner, however, an injustice should I publish as a tract for the times his chapter upon eschatology, without seeking through an introduction to put it in its own proper perspective and to indicate the general principles of Dorner's reasoning through which we Should approach this portion of his system. This seems all the more neces sary since American readers are perhaps too much inclined to go up to the master-works of German scholarship as some tourists enter a foreign gallery, note-book in hand, armed with certain stock questions, and then hurry away, imagining that they understand a great statue or painting. Dorner's reasonings are living outgrowths from his principles of faith, and his conclusions need to be apprehended and discussed not merely as so many logical quan.

Excerpt from Dorner on the Future State: Being a Translation of the Section of His System of Christian Doctrine Comprising the Doctrine of the Last Things
The course of recent theological discussion has called general attention to Dorner's eschatology. To many these words designate some vague and portentous form of German speculation, which should be kept with all possible pain from corrupting the sources of New England theology. Men like the fervent Tholuck, the profound Müller, and learned Dorner, may be good enough Christians for Germany, but not for New England! Dorner's last great work, the ripe fruit of a ripe mind, may be profitable for the "state church" of Prussia, but it should hardly be tolerated in the free churches of America!

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. The author posits that Christianity is the first theological system that emphasizes a concrete teleology and points toward a final judgment for individuals and the whole of humanity. In examining the development of eschatology, the author situates Christianity within the broader context of religious thought, comparing it to the eschatological ideas of ancient religions like heathenism. Exploring the eschatology of the Old Testament, the author highlights its focus on future developments within the earthly realm, with an emphasis on the destiny of the people and theocracy rather than individual persons. The work then goes on to discuss the evolution of eschatology within Christianity. The author examines how early Christian eschatology was shaped by the expectation of Christâs imminent return, and how the delay of this return led to a more nuanced understanding of the process of redemption and the ethical dimensions of faith. This book offers valuable insights into the development of eschatology, enriching our understanding of how religious ideas and beliefs have evolved over time.
