[...] ElShaddai Edwards recommended yet another theology quiz, this time What’s your eschatology? Well, I know my eschatology is somewhat confused. I used to be a premillenialist but without believing in a rapture before or during the tribulation. But my position has gradually been changing to something more on the lines of Moltmannian eschatology, to which ElShaddai provides a useful introduction. I studied some Moltmann years ago at London Bible College, and perhaps more of it rubbed off than I realised. But this also ties up with the kind of position I was looking at in my post on the book Breakthrough. So here are my results, based on quite a number of answers in the middle of the spectrum to questions which I could not really answer: [...]

Thanks for the introduction to Moltmannian Eschatology, for it turns out that that is what I hold to, at least 85%.

If you want to get into Moltmann’s eschatology, I’d actually suggest you start with his first big book “Theology of Hope”.

Ha! I figured I could count on blogdom’s resident theological encyclopedia to garnish this thread with a comment. And I still haven’t gotten to Peterson’s book on worship yet…

But seriously, there’s a lot to like in the summary paragraphs above – if they’re even a half accurate description of Moltmann’s work, I think I’ll find it quite intriguing.

Read Moltmann. That’s all.

yes, I agree that the questions were pretty loose and assumptive – there were a number of them that I mumbled to myself, “so which part do you want me to agree or disagree with?” I’ve tried to limit myself to extreme “agree” or “disagree” answers with these types of surveys, recognizing the inherent ambiguity of the questions.

That said, I learned about something new, Moltmann, or rather somebody, so I’m glad I took it!
