T & T Clark Handbook of Christian Eschatology
Ebook
This textbook offers a systematic introduction to eschatology. The first part introduces the historical approaches to eschatology. The second part concerns the reasons for eschatological statements in light of important aspects of the doctrine of God and Christ. The third part is devoted to different concepts of the relationship between eternity and time, space and infinitude as well as the question of what is good, true and beautiful.
Using a thematic structure, the multiple different approaches and concepts of modern eschatology are clearly presented, and illuminated by the perspective of the classical teachings on the Last Things; which are ultimately brought together in a synthesis.
This is an important contribution to a crucial part of the study of systematic theology.

Bibliography
Markus Mühling's excellent textbook offers a systematic introduction to eschatology ... [taking] the reader through the scriptural, doctrinal, and historical interpretations of the Parousia. Mühling has executed his subject with brevity and brilliance. For anyone teaching this subject, or simply trying to prepare for some Advent sermons, the book offers a masterclass in clarity, cutting through the complexity of the "end times", and enabling the reader to grasp the essentials.
Thorough in its coverage and systematic in its approach. Referencing is comprehensive and the indexes are detailed ... The text is easy to read and there are numerous highlighted summary paragraphs so you could skip a section and still keep up with the argument.
Learned, thorough, and engaged, this is theology of a high order, which will provoke thought.
A wide-ranging and very systematized plunge into the deepest questions of theology. Read it.
