Abstract

Judgment and the end of the world today often appear in the background of the discussions about theological and ecclesiastical proclamation. It is often related to the thoughts about justice and theology of sins, therefore many people are afraid to speak about these issues. However, in the last decade a different trend has been developed and quite opposite eschatological ideas started to fascinate people.
This paper discusses the Last Things and the End of the World in the aspect of dramatic theory of Hans Urs von Balthasar's theology.

Keywords

Hans Urs von Balthasar; eschatology; theological dramatic theory; the end of the world
