OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This paper explicates Schmemann’s and Ratzinger’s respective understandings of eschatology and how this informs their differing notions of temporality. Eschatology is centred on time for Schmemann, and in light of this he argues that the last things are a western aberration that deride temporality. Whereas, for Ratzinger eschatology fits within Christology and is a relational category. I will argue that Ratzinger’s relational approach, which includes the last things, establishes the importance of temporality, and that, ironically, it is Schmemann’s conception of eschatology that fails in this regard.
