Political Eschatology

Theology

“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.”
