Philip G. Ziegler - Militant Grace: The Apocalyptic Turn and the Future of Christian Theology

I am grateful to Dr. Taido Chino for his help in the early stages of preparing the typescript and pursuing the necessary permissions. I am also grateful to the Department of Theology and Religion of the University of Durham for electing and hosting me as Alan Richardson Fellow during the Epiphany Term of 2016/2017, during which time I was able to finish preparing the text.

I owe an unpayable debt to my close colleagues in divinity at the University of Aberdeen for their friendship and encouragement. Many thanks too to all those who have participated over the years in the Explorations in Theology and Apocalyptic working group during annual meetings of the AAR/SBL, and in particular to Professor Doug Harink for his leadership and encouragement of this common work.

I am grateful to Francis Boutle Publishers for permission to reproduce in fair use the final lines of Jack Clemos poem The Awakening in The Awakening: Poems Newly Found , edited by J. Hurst, A. M. Kent, and A. C. Symons (London: Francis Boutle, 2003).
