Arnold A. van Ruler (1908-1970) was a major Dutch Reformed systematic theologian, based at the University of Utrecht in The Netherlands. Ernst M. Conradie (1962-) is Senior Professor in the Department of Religion and Theology at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. He is the series editor of a series of twelve envisaged edited volumes in the field of Christian ecotheology, entitled An Earthed Faith: Telling the Story amid the ""Anthropocene"".
""This fascinating collection of van Ruler's essays on eschatology is very timely. It becomes available in an escapist era--believers of all stripes looking away from the world's structural sorrows, e.g. climate change, by taking refuge in an imagined future paradise. Van Ruler argues that--Christianly speaking--the eschaton is nothing else than this earthly, historical existence fulfilled and redeemed. Consummation, aptly contextualized by Ernst Conradie, excellently elaborates and illustrates this point of view."" --Gijsbert van den Brink, Chair of Theology and Science, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam ""A beautiful collection. Van Ruler's words of 'breathless enthusiasm' still resonate today, helped by excellent translation, introductions, and a thoughtful afterword. His 'eschatological notes'--on law and life and future--still surprise, fascinate, and delight. Perhaps it is the strangeness, perhaps his way with words, perhaps his thought-provoking sense of eschatology? After all, he understood that when Kuyper on his deathbed 'retained a measureless interest in the world' it was a sign of his piety!"" --Dirk Smit, The Rimmer and Ruth de Vries Professor of Reformed Theology and Public Life, Princeton Theological Seminary
