Remembering the Future: Toward an Eschatological Ontology

Remembering the Future: Toward an Eschatological Ontology

精装 Hardcover English 160 pages 16.2 × 23.6 cm 1.18 kg

Description

The long-awaited posthumous masterpiece by Metropolitan John Zizioulas, one of the most significant theologians of the 21st century. “Remembering the Future” argues for a radical reversal of causality, where the “eschaton” (the final goal of history) defines and gives meaning to the past and present. Zizioulas explores how this “eschatological ontology” transforms our understanding of creation, personhood, and the Church. He maintains that true being is liberated from the necessity of decay and death only through the Resurrection, which pulls the present toward a perfected future. It is a profound philosophical and theological inquiry that serves as the “Grand Unified Theory” of his life’s work.
