Book Update 2: Unpacking Rival Eschatologies

It was my friend Matt Burdette who pointed out to me that the Communist Manifesto is a work of eschatology more than political philosophy. This insight ran parallel to some other research I’d been doing in theological ethics, namely that it’s impossible to know what we should do without knowing what time it is.In this vid, I talk about my research and writing process for my upcoming book on Pentecostal preaching in which I suggest that, while we don’t need to be experts in all the rival philosophies and religions of the world, having an awareness that rival eschatologies just exists can help preachers proclaim the return of Christ with vigor and conviction.Check it out and let me know what you think.Thanks for reading Pastoral Theology!
