'End Times'
Manage episode 514299852 series 2440933
Eschatology is the study of events that are believed to bring about the end of human history, the world, or even the universe. There are many different interpretations of eschatology, and often multiple views exist within the same religious tradition. For example, Hinduism and Buddhism each have several different End Time narratives. In Islam, Shiite eschatology differs significantly from that of their Sunni counterparts. Even within Christianity, beliefs about the End Times vary widely—not just between Protestants and Catholics, but among different denominations and theological schools. A particularly divisive topic in Christian eschatology is the role of the modern State of Israel. Many Christians view it as a key component of prophetic fulfillment, while others see it as having no eschatological significance at all. Why is the modern State of Israel so controversial? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #353.
