Robinson","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"John Robinson is surely our most lucid and trustworthy Virgil, leading us down into those frightful and fruitful depths where our task of relocating and rewording the reality of God is to be done.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e- William Hamilton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDeath, judgment, heaven, hell. These are \"the Four Last Things\" traditionally linked together under the heading \"Eschatology.\" In this book John A. T. Robinson, Bishop of Woolwich, examines them with all the trenchancy, lucidity, and refusal to accept stock ideas that made Honest to God and The New Reformation world-wide bestsellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe shows how the original message of the New Testament and of the Prophets has become encrusted with misunderstanding until the End has come to mean in our time little more than a preoccupation with individual survival after death or a sense of doom from man-made sources like the Bomb. But if Christians and what they believe are to have any relevance at all to the world now and in the future, the language of Christian hope must be liberated to speak afresh to twentieth-century man and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"Christian eschatology is neither a tentative guess at how in distant ages the evolutionary process may work out; nor is it a specific programme of immediate catastrophe. It is the lighting up of a new dimension of life now.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bethlehem Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53184072220783,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0866\/5184\/files\/Intheend.jpg?v=1780491892","url":"https:\/\/bethlehembookstore.com\/products\/in-the-end-god-by-john-a-t-robinson","provider":"Bethlehem Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
