Hans Schwarz is one of the finest evangelical theological educators in Germany today, as this outstanding volume on eschatology aptly demonstrates. The book’s comprehensiveness, readability, and intelligently shaped conviction are very impressive. Dealing with a wide range of "eschatological" perspectives in both Christian and secular thought, Schwarz eminently expounds the Christian doctrine of the last things.

Currents in Theology & Mission
This insightful volume joins Hans Schwarz’s many other surveys of classical theological loci. Here Schwarz offers a study of eschatology that is thorough and rich, knowledgeable of the contemporary scene without capitulating to it, and sensitive to the subtleties of every issue he presents… This book is a welcome addition as a text for seminary students, graduate students, and parish pastors.

Religious Studies Review
Schwarz’s survey of the entire field of eschatology is a valuable resource that will no doubt become a standard work on the topic in seminaries.
