Contemporary Christian eschatology has to navigate between two extremes: On the one hand, it must not be lured into overtly informed speculations on the actual process of reconciliation in the afterlife. On the other hand, it is its recurrent task to conceptualize the Christian hope for reconciliation and to provide a rational justification of this hope, because the traditional imagery is neither self-explicatory nor self-evident. This is the aim of this book: Drawing on the culpable entanglement of modern human beings in the globalized world, it identifies an antinomic structure of human existence. This antinomy necessitates the quasi-postulate of a reality which redeems human beings beyond their death. A theological reception of Hannah Arendt’s concept of forgiveness opens up the possibility of defining the Christian eschatological hope as hope for reconciliation. Its theological sustainability is proven when facing the problems of the subject of eschatological action, its implementation, and its universal completion.

当代基督教末世论必须在两个极端之间游走：一方面，它绝不能被引诱到对来世和解的实际过程进行公开的猜测。另一方面，它的经常性任务是将基督教对和解的希望概念化，并为这种希望提供理性的证明，因为传统的意象既不是不言而喻的，也不是不言而喻的。这就是本书的目的：利用现代人类在全球化世界中的过错纠缠，它确定了人类存在的矛盾结构。这种矛盾需要一种现实的准假设，这种现实可以使人类在死亡之后得到救赎。汉娜·阿伦特宽恕概念的神学接受开启了将基督教末世论希望定义为和解希望的可能性。当面对末世行动、其实施及其普遍完成的主题时，它的神学可持续性得到了证明。
