The Hope Of The Early Church by Brian Daley

A Handbook of Patristic Eschatology

A concise study of how the earliest Christians understood eschatological hope, tracing patristic teachings on resurrection, final judgment, the kingdom, and Christ’s return; it situates those beliefs in the context of Jewish apocalyptic background and shows how evolving expectations about the delayed Parousia influenced doctrine, worship, and pastoral practice in the early Church.
