Consistent eschatology

Consistent eschatology (Thoroughgoing eschatology) is an exclusive futuristic eschatology, the consistent interpretation of Jesus' eschatology as an expectation of an imminent end, and the thorough-going eschatology,[1] the first position by Albert Schweitzer.[2][3] He used a thorough eschatology to provide a solution to the historical problems associated with Jesus' life.[4] According to this view, the proclamation of Jesus asserted by Johannes Weiss (J. Weiß)[5] and his actions and ministry are dominated by the eschatological expectation of the impending return.[6] It is contrast to realized eschatology, which sees that the kingdom of God is not in the future but is already completed in the ministry of Jesus Christ.[7] It has evolved into inaugurated eschatology which started the synthesis of the consistent eschatology by Albert Schweitzer and realized eschatology by C. H. Dodd.[8][9][10][11]
