Session Description
In 2009, Thomas Long lamented that the pulpit has grown silent on matters of eschatology. The goal of this workshop is to help preachers begin to remedy that silence by developing a theological structure for preaching that imitates the tension, movement, and hopeful trajectory of the gospel. Participants will come to see that eschatology is not an optional add-on to preaching the gospel, nor is it simply an isolated doctrine to be taught; rather, eschatological hope is intrinsic to the gospel message itself.

Eschatological Preaching: Imitating the Tension, Movement, and Hope of the Gospel
In 2009, Thomas Long lamented that the pulpit has grown silent on matters of eschatology. The goal of this workshop is to help preachers begin to remedy that silence by developing a theological structure for preaching that imitates the tension, movement, and hopeful trajectory of the gospel. Participants will come to see that eschatology is not an optional add-on to preaching the gospel, nor is it simply an isolated doctrine to be taught; rather, eschatological hope is intrinsic to the gospel message itself.
