Body and Hope
A Constructive Interpretation of Recent Eschatology by Means of
the Phenomenology of the Body
[Leib und Ho nung. Eine konstruktive Interpretation jüngster Eschatologie anhand der
Phänomenologie der Leiblichkeit.]
Published in English.
In this book, Johanne Stubbe Teglbjærg Kristensen analyses the relationship between body and
hope. She critically investigates the eschatologies of Paul Tillich, Jürgen Moltmann and Wolfhart
Pannenberg from the perspective of the phenomenology of the body represented by Maurice
Merleau-Ponty. By focusing on the eschatological challenge of the body through a
thematization of the issue of continuity, the author constructively interprets the classic
eschatological themes of death, resurrection, judgement and the Second Coming. She shows
how the classic eschatological issues of the relationship between time and eternity, as well as
of the relationship between the individual and the community require new conceptions. By
taking the phenomenology of the body into consideration, Teglbjærg Kristensen suggests both
a new eschatological approach and a new conception of eschatology.
