International theological conference: call for papers | 22-24 oct 2015
"Game Over" – Good or Bad News ?
Making Sense of Eschatology
University of Geneva, October 22-24, 2015
How does the Christian faith think the "end"?
From biblical perspectives to constructive systematic and ethical reinterpretations (including the visions of an “enhanced” human species) via historical studies of the Christian tradition broadly conceived, this conference seeks to raise anew the question of the meaning of “eschatology”.
