In this incisive exploration of Judeo-Christian eschatology, William O. E. Oesterley traces the evolution of end-time doctrines from ancient Jewish writings to early Christian thought.
Drawing on texts such as the Tanach, the Book of Enoch, and the Book of Jubilees, he illuminates how early Jewish apocalyptic visions-once particular to the fate of Israel-gave way to the Christian concept of a universal judgment. Positioned within the wider context of biblical scholarship, Oesterley offers a methodical yet accessible account of how ideas of final destiny transformed across religious traditions.
This work offers a compelling lens through which to understand the shifting perceptions of divine justice, salvation, and the culmination of history. A significant contribution to biblical studies, it reveals the enduring impact of early eschatological thought on Western religious consciousness.
