What is it?
Eschatology Matters is a ministry that is committed to furthering discussion and study in the area of eschatology. Specifically, Eschatology Matters examines the eschatological views consistent with Reformed Christianity—those views which are covenantal in perspective. To pursue this goal, Eschatology Matters promotes conferences, interviews, and presentations that further the growth of Reformed eschatology within the church.
Eschatology =
Simply put, eschatology is the study of the last things or final things. As a branch of theology, eschatology is particularly focused on what God has said in Scripture concerning those final things in this world. Yet eschatology is not only the final chapters of the Bible, but includes the whole flow and narrative of the story that stretches from the Garden to the New Heavens and Earth. Ultimately, eschatology is about how all things are being reclaimed by Jesus Christ (2 Cor 1:20).
