Many people think eschatology refers to events occurring at the end of history. In this book, two scholars with expertise in biblical eschatology argue that God's kingdom breaking into this world through Jesus Christ has inaugurated a new creation - a reality that should shape pastoral leadership and be reflected in the life and ministry of the church. Each chapter concludes with practical suggestions and a list of books for further study.
"... Gladd and Harmon demonstrate that eschatology permeates every aspect of ministry, from prayer to preaching to missions. The book is filled with practical suggestions, but what makes it unique and powerful is that the practical implications are rooted in what the Scriptures teach about eschatology."
- Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"... two younger scholars, with the assistance of Greg Beale, show what it means to be end-time people. They offer some great theological reflections and practical advice on how to lead people who are waiting with patience and purpose for the day when God is all in all."
- Michael F. Bird, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia
