Gladd, Benjamin L.,
Making all things new : inaugurated eschatology for the life of the church / Benjamin L. Gladd and Matthew S. Harmon ; with an introductory chapter by G. K. Beale. - xix, 199 pages ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 179-185) and indexes.
Part 1. Theological foundation : grasping the already - not yet. The end starts at the beginning / G.K. Beale ; The nature of the end-time church ; Life in the overlap of the ages -- Part 2. Pastoral leadership : leading God's end-time flock in the already - not yet. Feeding the flock ; Guarding the flock ; Guiding the flock -- Part 3. End-time ministry : service in the latter-day temple of God. Worship : celebrating the inaugurated new covenant ; Prayer : pleading for the consummation of the new-creational kingdom ; Missions : extending God's eschatological presence to the ends of the earth.
Many people think eschatology refers to events occurring at the end of history. In this book, two scholars with expertise in biblical eschatology argue that God's kingdom breaking into this world through Jesus Christ has inaugurated a new creation, a reality that should shape pastoral leadership and be reflected in the life and ministry of the church. Brief and accessibly written, this book articulates the practical implications of G. K. Beale's New Testament Biblical Theology and features an introductory chapter by Beale. Each chapter concludes with practical suggestions and a list of books for further study.
