“Brilliant! This work continues Thiel’s development of a theology of eschatology, which he began in Icons of Hope, a major contribution to the field. In that book and this, he fully yet succinctly engages the tradition to shape a compelling and quite original view of ‘last things’ and how such a view can and should shape our views of time and being in time.” —Julia A. Lamm, author of Schleiermacher’s Plato

“This is a fresh theology of the ‘last things.’ Making a persuasive case for a ‘thick’ eschatology, Thiel writes gracefully as he weaves together strands from a number of complex theological topics into an essay that moves both smoothly and lightly. The book is quite accessible and a pleasure to read!” —David H. Kelsey, author of Eccentric Existence
