The Eschatology of the Gospels

von Dobschütz’s book began as lectures for the summer school of theology at Oxford University in 1909. Focusing upon the significance of early Christian eschatology for the church and the interpretation of the New Testament, the four lectures examine historical questions regarding the origins of the gospels and the relevance of eschatology to the larger traditions around Jesus. He concludes with a discussion of how John’s view of Jesus differed from the synoptic gospels.
