"This new volume explores the church's responsibility to proclaim the Christian view of the future -- and its meaning for the present -- in today's scientific age. Written by experienced pastor-theologians, these chapters look at the collaborative relationship between theology and science, particularly what both have to say about the nature and destiny of humans and the world. Because this reflection comes from voices actively involved in local congregations, it is peculiarly sensitive to contemporary culture and the practical needs of ordinary Christians. This unique character of Hope for Your Future makes it a new kind of book on Christian eschatology, one that attempts to facilitate responsible Christian faith in and through active members of local congregations. Scientifically informed yet written for a wide audience, this volume is for anyone interested in the end times."
