Hope and Community: A Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World, Vol. 5 Volume 5

By Veli-Matti Karkkainen and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen

The culmination of K rkk inen's multivolume magnum opus

This fifth and final volume of Veli-Matti K rkk inen's ambitious five-volume systematic theology develops a constructive Christian eschatology and ecclesiology in dialogue with the Christian tradition, with contemporary theology in all its global and contextual diversity, and with other major living faiths--Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism.

In Part One of the book K rkk inen discusses eschatology in the contexts of world faiths and natural sciences, including physical, cosmological, and neuroscientific theories. In Part Two, on ecclesiology, he adopts a deeply ecumenical approach. His proposal for greater Christian unity includes the various dimensions of the church's missional existence and a robust dialogical witness to other faith communities.
