What is Biblical Eschatology? "What the Bible says about how the story of creation will end." That's my (Dr. Chance) simple way to describe "biblical eschatology." The short answer is that the story will end with a whole new beginning, the rebirth of the whole of creation. We will talk about how prophets of the Hebrew Bible envisioned God's dream and give focused attention to how Jesus and his earliest followers told the story of God's dream for a New World. But we won't stay locked in the past. We will also study the explosion of interest in this "story of the end" in the past two hundred years and take a candid look at how this renewed interest in eschatology turned God's dream into nightmare for many people. We will conclude with an exploration of how Christians who have awoken from the nightmare can focus again on God's dream and work with God to make the dream a reality.
