Sažetak
In the world of global poverty, recession, postconflict society of ex-Yugoslavia, European transformation of economy, especially in the light of Greek problem, after the American hell's day of Nine Eleven, issues like Inferno, Apocalypse and Doomsday are back in the center of people's minds. Theological thinking wants to carry on with this issues, because the role of theology for any time is to „give an explanation to anyone who aks you for reason for your hope“ (1 Pt 3, 15). How can theology speak about these eschatological questions in the light of Scripture and at the same time be reasonable for „secular“ readers? How can theology intermediate this emergent question? In this work we will propose a hermeneutical approach to this eschatological question in the light of Werner Jeanrond hermeneutical perspective. Every theological question must be hermeneuticaly treated. From this point it will be intelligible to talk about eschatological topics in post-modern, multi- cultural and global world. The first part of the work argue that eschatology became a central point of theology. From dealing with this issues as a marginalized and repressed questions, something that was attached to theology as her ended chapter, eschatology become again a heart of theology, especially in the work of Jürgen Moltmann where he presents his work as a „eschatology of future“ (futurische Eschatologie) from the point of hope as a primacy of christian life. In the example of Moltmann theology we argue that eschatology is not something on the edge of theology, like it was in the tractate De novissimis, but it has become central point of all theology.
