Interview with Keith Mathison

Keith Mathison has written a new book on eschatology, From Age to Age: The Unfolding of Biblical Eschatology.  James Grant points out an interview with Mathison over at Alex Chediak’s blog.  The thing I really appreciate that Mathison says in the interview is that eschatology is much more than simply “end-time” events.  Eschatology is inherent to redemptive-history.  The Scriptures are inherently eschatological because God’s plan is moving toward one end, which is Christ.  Therefore, Scripture is both Eschatological and Christological in nature.  Read the interview here.
