People often feel that biblical theology of future and hope is of little practical value for life in the present.

Christians are suspected of waiting for a 'pie in the sky when they die' instead of dealing with the 'steak on their plate while they wait'. But the writers in this book argue that eschatology of creation's future in God's purposes - is profoundly relevant for contempory life.

The book outlines biblical and historical teachings on eschatology, and then creatively explores their implications for a range of current issues from art to politics, from ecology to pop culture, from mission to work, and from gender issues to ethics.
