In a dialogue with the best of Christian tradition, the natural sciences' conjectures of the "end," as well as Islam's rich teaching on the doctrine of the Last Things, a fresh constructive eschatology is recommended. While based on wide and deep academic learning, the conversational style of the book makes it suitable for various kinds of audiences, from pastors, to students, to scholars, and to interested lay folks. 0aEschatology. 0aIslamic eschatology. 0aReligion and science. 7aEschatology..2fast0(OCoLC)fst00915134 7aHopexReligious aspectsxChristianity..2fast0(OCoLC)fst00960079 7aChristianity and other religions..2fast0(OCoLC)fst00859685 7aReligion and science..2fast0(OCoLC)fst01093848 7aEnd of the world (Astronomy).2fast0(OCoLC)fst00909639 7aIslam..2fast0(OCoLC)fst00979776
