Synopsis "eschatology,death and eternal life"

Originally published in English in 1988, Joseph Ratzinger's Eschatology remains internationally recognized as a leading text on the "last things"--heaven and hell, purgatory and judgment, death and the immortality of the soul. This highly anticipated second edition includes a new preface by Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI and a supplement to the bibliography by theologian Peter A. Casarella. Eschatology presents a balanced perspective of the doctrine at the center of Christian belief--the Church's faith in eternal life. Recognizing the task of contemporary eschatology as "to marry perspectives, so that person and community, present and future, are seen in their unity," Joseph Ratzinger brings together recent emphasis on the theology of hope for the future with the more traditional elements of the doctrine. His book has proven to be as timeless as it is timely.

(Marktl, 1927 - Vatican City, 2022) German theologian and prelate, elected Pope of the Catholic Church on April 19, 2005, as successor to John Paul II. After nearly eight years of pontificate, he resigned in February 2013, a decision with very few precedents in the two thousand years of Church history.
