Contents:
The end of traditional eschatology : Vatican II as catalyst for fundamental theology -- Hermeneutics, eschatology, and critical theory -- The definitive turn to experience : hermeneutic mediation and praxical anticipation of salvation -- Unifying experience and anthropology : the ontological reduction -- Secularization and the subversion of Christian eschatology -- God, experience, and economic apocalypticism.
Summary: "Eschatology is the foundation for exploring Edward Schillebeeckx's work. Daniel Minch provides an in-depth analysis of his hermeneutical theology, informed by access to original texts previously unavailable in English. He examines the historical and doctrinal origins of his methodology, hermeneutics as human experience, and the continuing relevance of the approach for today's socio-economic context. Today, economics drives our predictions for the future. But Minch shows that Schillebeeckx's work reminds us of a 'new image of humanity', as well as a 'new image of God', part of the Catholic shift to a future-oriented 'theology of hope' that took place after the Second Vatican Council. These resist both economic logic and fundamentalist views of God and history that have become pervasive in popular notions of Christianity"--Publishers website.
