Eschatology is not merely a doctrine; it is a orientation, a perspective, a way of being. Eschatology is not only about the future; it affects our past as well as our present. This is how the Church initially understood and experienced the "last things".
Metropolitan of Pergamon John Zizioulas
Metropolitan of Pergamon John Zizioulas, at the pinnacle of his theological journey, offered this magnum opus, a work that transcends all of his previous studies in depth, insight, and academic rigor. The positions presented in his famous works Being as Communion and Communion & Otherness served as the foundation for their further investigation, which was undertaken in his pivotal last work, which is likely to be discussed and serve as a reference book even more than his previous works. In this book by John Zizioulas, eschatological ontology profoundly influences the entire range of Christian theology.
John Zizioulas emphasized that his book Remembering the Future concerns those who have accepted the fact of the Resurrection of Christ and are interested in the "logical" consequences that follow from the acceptance of this fact: credo ut intelligam. He often urged his interlocutors to critically examine both the foundations and the implications of his groundbreaking claim that "the future precedes the past" from both a logical and an ontological perspective. He argued that Christian theology represents the interpretation of the Resurrection, a theme that lies at the heart of the study of this book.
