Now And Forever A Theological Aesthetics Of Time - John E. Thiel

Building On The Insights Of The Ressourcement Theology Of Grace, This Sophisticated Theological Aesthetics Offers A Fresh Vision Of The Doctrine Of Creation Through A Consideration Of The Beauty Of Time.conventional Eschatological Accounts Of Life After Death Tend To Emphasize The Discontinuity Between Earthly Life And The Hereafter: Whereas This Life Is Subject To The Contingencies Of Time, Life After Death Is Characterized By A Stolid Eternity. In Contrast To This Standard View, John E. Thiels Now And Forever Articulates A Catholic Eschatology In Which Earthly Life And Heavenly Life Are Seen As Gracefully Continuous.this Account Offers A Reconceptualization Of Time, Which, Thiel Argues, Is Best Understood As The Sacramental Medium Of Gods Grace To Creation.
