Eschatology in the Old Testament [Paperback]

Using a canonical approach, in which he explores the Old Testament as a whole - rather than the teachings of individual Old Testament authors - Professor Gowan traces the hopes of the people of Israel for a better future. He concludes that for God to make things right, a three-fold transformation of the world must take place: God must transform the human person, human society, and nature itself. This is a modern, comprehensive introduction to eschatology in the Old Testament, and includes a new introduction.
