Reviews
"""In Political Eschatology, Sean McGrath argues that a society which mostly thinks that it has departed from Christianity is actually 'theologically saturated' in both its ideas and its institutions, but that this theology is fatally 'deteriorated.' McGrath wants to convert the now prevailing 'apocalyptic anxiety' to 'eschatological hope' by showing the proper character of Christian faith, and he succeeds wonderfully. An informative and inspiring book."" --David Cayley, author of Ivan Illich: An Intellectual Journey ""Eschatology is back, and political eschatology is even more relevant than it has ever been before. Sean McGrath shows us in honest clarity and in seven well documented essays how important it is to not only include eschatology in our theological reflection about the consequences of modernity and the very future of humanity, but to make it the very center of it."" --Gerbern S. Oegema, professor of biblical studies, McGill University"
