Publisher's Description
This book explains key doctrines in theology from the perspective of biblical eschatology. Eschatology first appears in Genesis rather than in Revelation, for it is about the chief end of man and God's creation. It is placed in the beginning rather than at the end of theology as the central and foundational motif. "The chief end of man" in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, for instance, is an eschatological concept in nature as well as in redemption. Eschatology precedes redemption, but "the eschatology of nature" is fulfilled through "the eschatology of redemption" in Jesus Christ. The "Golden Chain" of Ordo Salutis and the progress of redemptive history will be interpreted from the perspectives of covenant, eschatology, and Christology.

“In Scripture, eschatology concerns not only Christ’s future return but also the salvation that has already been accomplished in his death and resurrection and is being applied individually and corporately in the life of the church in its mission in and to the world. Seated in the Heavenly Realms provides an instructive treatment of this important biblical truth.”
“C. S. Lewis said we’re like children making mud pies in the slum because we can’t even conceive of a holiday at the sea. After reading this book, you will be able at least to apprehend the ‘holiday’ awaiting us, with foretastes even now. Young Jae Song argues persuasively that eschatology, centering on God’s promises and their fulfillment in Christ, is not just a final topic in systematic theology but gives us a proper perspective on every Christian doctrine and practice. Enjoy the breathtaking vista!”
