A particularly successful project „Theology and Science on Eschatology,“ funded by the CTI in Princeton, “Theology and Science on
Eschatology” was published under the beautiful title The End of the
World and the Ends of God – whereby “Ends of God” does not mean
the termination or finality of God, but the purposes of God. The volume was published in several languages, including Korean and Chinese.

Theology on Eschatology (Harrisburg, PA:

This project was followed by science and theology projects on the
question of resurrection: if resurrection is not a physical resuscitation, that is, the return of a dead person to the world, what reality does
it have? Too simple – only naturalistic and cosmological – concepts of
“creation” had to be corrected.
