Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
