Skip Tyler’s Eschatology Library
Below are eschatology books
in my library. I have built this library
up over the last fifteen years. I have certainly
changed my view on eschatology over the years.
In the past I saw eschatology as
a couple of books in the Bible to be analyzed and dissected. However, the following quote from The Bible
and the Future below sums up my view on how to look at eschatology:
“Properly to
understand Biblical Eschatology, we must see it as an integral aspect of all of
biblical revelation. Eschatology must
not be thought of as something which is found only in, say, such Bible books as
Daniel and Revelation, but as dominating and permeating the entire message of
the Bible. On this point Jurgen Moltman is certainly
correct: “From first to last, and not merely in the epilogue, Christianity is
eschatology, is hope, forward looking and forward moving, and therefore also revolutionizing
and transforming the present. The
eschatological is not element of Christianity, but it is the medium of the
Christian faith as such, the key in which everything in it is set . . . . Hence eschatology cannot really be only a
part of Christian doctrine. Rather, the
eschatological outlook is characteristic of all Christian proclamation, and of
every Christian existence and of the “whole church”.”
