Much current theology is content with the modern account of humanity as all that it will ever be. A distinctively Christian theology, however, has a more sophisticated idea of time, a sense that both the individual and the world are works in progress, and neither will be settled until established in relationship with God. This substantive new work by Douglas Knight confronts the central trends of modern thought with the eschatological economy of the Christian tradition. Throughout The Eschatological Economy, Knight links Christian doctrine to an awareness of both being and becoming. He gives central place to the work of God and to the medium of that work, the creation and the cross; in so doing, he provides a clearer way to understand the traditional teaching that Christ died for us.
