Book Description
In a technologically suppressed future, information demands to be free in the debut novel from Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Stross. In the twenty-first century, life as we know it changed. Faster-than-light travel was perfected, and the Eschaton, a superhuman artificial intelligence, was born. Four hundred years later, the far-flung colonies that arose as a result of these events—scattered over three thousand years of time and a thousand parsecs of space—are beginning to rediscover their origins. The New Republic is one such colony. It has existed for centuries in self-imposed isolation, rejecting all but the most basic technology. Now, under attack by a devastating information plague, the colony must reach out to Earth for help. A battle fleet is dispatched, streaking across the stars to the rescue. But things are not what they seem—secret agendas and ulterior motives abound, both aboard the ship and on the ground. And watching over it all is the Eschaton, which has its own very definite ideas about the outcome...

Book Description
The year is 10,515 AD. The Hyades Armada, traveling at near lightspeed, will reach Earth in just four centuries to assess humanity's value as slaves. For the last 8,000 years, two opposing factions have labored to meet the alien threat in very different ways. One of them is Ximen del Azarchel, immortal leader of the mutineers from the starship Hermetic and self-appointed Master of the World, who has allowed his followers to tamper continuously with the evolutionary destiny of Man, creating one bizarre race after another in an apparent search for a species the Hyades will find worthy of conquest. The other is Menelaus Montrose, the posthuman Judge of Ages, whose cryonic Tombs beneath the surface of Earth have preserved survivors from each epoch created by the Hermeticists. Montrose intends to thwart the alien invaders any way he can, and to remain alive long enough to be reunited with his bride Rania, who is on a seventy-millennia journey to confront the Hyades' masters, tens of thousands of light-years away. Now, with the countdown to the Hyades' arrival nearing its end, del Azarchel and Montrose square off for what is to be their final showdown for the fate of Earth, a battle of gunfire and cliometric calculus; powered armor and posthuman intelligence. Judge of Ages is the wildly inventive third volume in a series exploring future history and human evolution from John C. Wright.

Book Description
Between Apocalypse and Eschaton argues that eschatology is the key to de Lubac's theological project and critical to understanding the nouvelle theologie, the group of theologians with whom de Lubac was associated. While much recent focuses on the controversies over the supernatural, this work returns to an often neglected aspect of de Lubac's work and examines it in the wider historical, political, and theological context of war-torn twentieth-century Europe, which critically shape the meaning of "the end."

Book Description
Foreword by Peter Machinist Hermann Gunkel's groundbreaking Schöpfung und Chaos, originally published in German in 1895, is here translated in its entirety into English for the first time. Even though available only in German, this work by Gunkel has had a profound influence on modern biblical scholarship. Discovering a number of parallels between the biblical creation accounts and a Babylonian creation account, the Enuma Elish, Gunkel argues that ancient Babylonian traditions shaped the Hebrew people's perceptions both of God's creative activity at the beginning of time and of God's re-creative activity at the end of time. Including illuminating introductory pieces by eminent scholar Peter Machinist and by translator K. William Whitney, Gunkel's Creation and Chaos will appeal to serious students and scholars in the area of biblical studies.

Book Description
Arnold brings to the Biblical study of the end times his rationalistic and scientific approach. While this approach enhances, it in no way changes or attempts to correct Biblical text or its meaning. Arnold defines the Eschaton, the end of all things in Greek, as the composite of “signs of the end, the Lord’s return, the judgment, and life eternal or damnation“. He believes the Lord’s use of the word “generation” based on the original Greek is ‘an interval of time, an age’. This age of believers, Jesus teaches, will not pass away until all the signs of the end have taken place. By the doctrine of Predestination the end can not come until the last Christian on earth is born. He defines the last believers of this age as the “Omega Generation”. As they are born, their family line will cease and when the last Christian of the Omega Generation is born, all family lines on earth will end. With these changes will come a dramatic decrease in global population as prophesied in Scripture. After reviewing what changes this will bring to the earth, he discusses the signs of the times which the secular world takes as pointers to the possible end of the world. He then takes us on a detailed description of the Biblical signs. These signs will be highly visible during the lives of the Omega Generation. Following the return of our Lord, Dr. Arnold describes the Judgment, the New Jerusalem and the Inferno. Other very unique concepts introduced by Arnold in The Eschaton include a discussion of the cleansing of the Cosmos by fire and the events that occur following our death. All those who hold the Bible to be Truth will find this book to be attention grabbing, exciting and a clear explanation and revelation of that truth.

Book Description
In this, the culmination of the four volume Eschaton sequences, the author returns to the origins of the original sequence and, shedding some of the earlier work's postmodern reductions, returns to a more structured and Modern layout of his preliminary fusion of ideas. Serving as perhaps a Philosophical Investigations to the first sequence's Tractatus, this installment is clearer in its understanding of the exchange between reader and author, and the magic and spilling of ink that goes into the descent of an act of reflection into a materialistic artefact, stream-of-conscious repository, or book.
