Broadman & Holman Publishers, Nashville, 1999. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Minor shelf wear. xi, 424 pages. "Eschatology is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with what is believed to be the final events in the history of the world, or the ultimate destiny of humanity, commonly referred to as the end of the world. While in mysticism the phrase refers metaphorically to the end of ordinary reality and reunion with the Divine, in many traditional religions it is taught as an actual future event prophesied in sacred texts or folklore. More broadly, eschatology may encompass related concepts such as the Messiah or Messianic Age, the end time, and the end of days. The Greek word (aeon), meaning 'century' (connotation 'age'), may be translated as 'end of the age (or historical period)' instead of 'end of the world'. The time distinction also has theological significance; while the end of time in mystical traditions relates to escaping confinement in the 'given' reality, some religions believe and fear it to be the literal destruction of the planet (or of all living things) – with the human race surviving in some new form, ending the current 'age' of existence. Most modern eschatology and apocalypticism, both religious and secular, involves the violent disruption or destruction of the world, whereas Christian and Jewish eschatologies view the end times as the consummation or perfection of God's creation of the world. For example, according to ancient Hebrew belief, life takes a linear (and not cyclical) path; the world began with God and is constantly headed toward God's final goal for creation.".
