Description : "Exploring Eschatology and Apocalyptic Literature" at Atlantic International University (AIU) delves deeply into the theological intricacies of eschatological beliefs concerning the end times, resurrection, and the kingdom of God. This immersive journey encompasses a meticulous examination of both canonical and extrabiblical apocalyptic texts, spanning from the prophetic visions of Daniel to the mystical revelations of the Book of Enoch. Through rigorous analysis and scholarly discourse, participants navigate the labyrinthine corridors of eschatological thought, grappling with profound questions about the nature of existence and the divine purpose of creation. Central to this exploration is the concept of eschatological hope—the enduring belief in the ultimate fulfillment of divine promises and the restoration of all things. Participants engage with theological debates surrounding the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, and the establishment of God's kingdom, confronting the existential implications of these beliefs for individual faith and collective identity. By plumbing the depths of apocalyptic literature, students emerge with a profound appreciation for the timeless quest for transcendence and redemption that animates human spirituality across cultures and traditions.
