Does a hope of eternal life fit into daily Christian living? In Dynamics of Hope, Charlotte Joy Martin pursues questions that touch on the relationship between the Church's fellowship and its hope of eternal life.
In ordinary conversation imaginary escapes from everyday living often masquerade as "hope, " but true hope involves seeing what one hopes for intersect present reality. Confusion over hope confuses everything about the relationship between eternal life and everyday living: ideas about the Church, sin and redemption, God, Jesus, worship, love, and, eternal life itself. Conversely, clearer thinking about hope allows clearer thinking on all of these issues. After clarifying hope itself, Dynamics of Hope identifies questions and applies lessons learned about eternal life and everyday living that arise regarding hope.
