Abstract

It is the purpose of this dissertation to present in an objective manner the various views held by leading Lutheran theologians and scholars who have written on phases of the Old Testament locus De Novissimis during the past two decades, or whose works have been republished in this period of time. This writer is aware of the mass of research that would be required if one were to undertake to offer a critical analysis of present-day scholarly thought. He will therefore assume the more modest task of presenting what might be called a composite picture of trends in contemporary Lutheran thinking with respect to the more important eschatological questions now occupying the attention of many Old Testament scholars. It is hoped that such a study will contribute in a small way to a better understanding of the truth as it is revealed in God's holy Word.
