Introduction

It is only fitting that the final module of the course address “last things,” the doctrine of eschatology. In this module, Dr. Bounds and the material from Dr. Felker-Jones’ book address Christian beliefs on what will happen both after our deaths and for all eternity. We will explore resurrection and any intermediate state of the dead, as well as a general understanding of heaven and hell. Eternity in the presence of God is something none of us should miss!

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Explain the historic Christian perspective on bodily resurrection and the coming kingdom of God.
• Articulate various perspectives on the intermediate state of the dead.
• Resolve to spend eternity with Christ in the presence of God forever!
