Críticas:

For readers interested in in the continuing contention between science and theology, this book focuses nicely on a topic of great interest to both large and grand disciplines. In this one volume, some of today's best thinkers speak to how the world (or God) may work things out. David Mosser, Clergy Journal, Oct. 2001.--David Mosser "Clergy Journal "

"This book embodies the highest level of thinking currently available in two subject areas: the science-faith dialogue in broad scope and the Christian doctrine of eschatology in particular. The chapter by John Polkinghorne, "Eschatology: Some Questions and Some Insights from Science," may be the finest short essay in theology I have read in a decade. It is elegant!" Ted Peters, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary and Graduate Theological Union, as printed in Theology Today, January 2001--Sanford Lakoff "Theology Today "

"Unusual for a book with 23 essays, this collection sustains a high quality throughout...for those who are interested in the latest developments in the science and theology dialogue or who are interested in the new twist that modern science has given questions of eschatology, this book is required reading." Rob Highfield, Associate Professor of Religion, Pepperdine University, reviewing for Stone-Campbell Journal, Fall 2000--Sanford Lakoff "Stone-Campbell Journal "

"This is a valuable contribution to the current interest in 'Last Things'. It is, moreover, a 'user-friendly' book; clearly written without unnecessary scientific (or theological) jargon, and the multiplicity of sub-headings and titled paragraphs make it an easy book to digest and consult." Cedric Carr, reviewing for The Expository Times, April 2001--Sanford Lakoff

Reseña del editor:

In this volume, 16 scientists and theologians contend that eschatology provides a common concern for both theology and the sciences.
