Do "eschatology" and "peace" go together? Is eschatology mostly about retribution and fear--or compassion and hope?Compassionate Eschatology brings together a group of international scholars representing a wide range of Christian traditions to address these questions. Together they make the case that Christianity's teaching about the "end times" should and can center on Jesus' message of peace and reconciliation.

Girard's project is shown to reinforce the biblical message of eschatological peace.
