ABSTRACT

In the previous chapter, the theological insights gained from Part I of this study were utilized in an examination of the moral import of time and space in eschatological hope. This chapter will continue the line of questioning in exploring how Moltmann’s conception of the human being impacts a theological understanding of moral action in eschatological perspective. Furthermore, the question of how such moral action may be conceived of as action undertaken by humans within the eschatological time and space described above will receive more thorough explication. To accomplish this, the chapter will proceed in three movements.
