Seated in the Heavenly Realms: Covenant and Eschatology
Ebook
Overview
This book explains key doctrines in theology from the perspective of biblical eschatology. Eschatology first appears in Genesis rather than in Revelation, for it is about the chief end of man and God’s creation. It is placed in the beginning rather than at the end of theology as the central and foundational motif. “The chief end of man” in the Westminster Shorter Catechism, for instance, is an eschatological concept in nature as well as in redemption. Eschatology precedes redemption, but “the eschatology of nature” is fulfilled through “the eschatology of redemption” in Jesus Christ. The “Golden Chain” of Ordo Salutis and the progress of redemptive history will be interpreted from the perspectives of covenant, eschatology, and Christology.
“In Scripture, eschatology concerns not only Christ’s future
return but also the salvation that has already been accomplished in
his death and resurrection and is being applied individually and
corporately in the life of the church in its mission in and to the
world. Seated in the Heavenly Realms provides an instructive
treatment of this important biblical truth.”
—Richard B. Gaffin Jr., Westminster Seminary, emeritus
“C. S. Lewis said we’re like children making mud pies in the slum
because we can’t even conceive of a holiday at the sea. After
reading this book, you will be able at least to apprehend the
‘holiday’ awaiting us, with foretastes even now. Young Jae Song
argues persuasively that eschatology, centering on God’s promises
and their fulfillment in Christ, is not just a final topic in
systematic theology but gives us a proper perspective on every
Christian doctrine and practice. Enjoy the breathtaking
vista!”
—Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary California
