The Four Last Things, by George William Rutler (Credo House, 199 pp., $8.95)
The vogue of liberation theology lends currency to a conservative battle cry of a couple of decades ago: “Don’t let them immanentize the eschaton.” “They” now include theologians urging that God’s Kingdom be someday presented to Him as a revolutionary fait accompli. The Vatican is dealing firmly with the would-be immanentizers; but in the meantime one hears far less about those eschata— death, judgment, hell, and heaven— that pertain to us all as individuals.
