This book presents a comprehensive summary of the major themes of eschatology, also known as the Last Things. It rethinks the theological understanding of death, various views of afterlife, reincarnation, individual judgment, the incorruptible soul, the intermediate state, limbo, purgatory, Christ's Second Coming, the Last Judgment, Hell, heaven, and the New Creation. The book explains the scriptural, theological, and official Church teaching on these topics, but creatively rethinks them in an orthodox way, leaning heavily on the thought of the philosopher-theologians, Karl Rahner and Bernard Lonergan, the historical studies in the Western Christian mystical tradition of Bernard McGinn, and the exegesis of the world-class biblical scholar N. T. Wright. It presents the pros and cons of some aspects of certain topics and gives solid reasons why some opinions should be rejected or accepted.
