From the publisher:

Cardinal Tomasz Szpidlik is a widely known patrologist and researcher of Eastern Christian spirituality, a teacher of patrological disciplines at various universities in Rome and around the world, and the author of numerous works that affirm the close connection between theology and Christian life. In this book, the author examines one of the most important and controversial theological topics - eschatology, the doctrine of the "last things" or "end of the world": death, universal resurrection, judgement and the final fate of man and the universe. A careful analysis of the views of various theologians, with a special emphasis on Slavic thinkers, concludes with Father Tomasz's balanced conclusions on the Christological interpretation of these topics. The author, who is well versed in Christian art, illustrates his thoughts abundantly with the interpretation of icons, mainly from the Eastern Church.

There is no doubt that Father Tomasz's profound thought, traditional yet strikingly modern, taking into account all the major theological teachings of antiquity and the present, will be of interest to a wide range of readers and will be useful to students of theological schools and anyone interested in contemporary Christianity.
