Description
Summary:The motive for writing the article is the perception, on the ground of Christian theology, of the challenge of chiliasm trying to embed eternal things (salvation) in history, especially when it is hidden in the programs of socio-political movements. The aim of the article is to show that Christian theology has always been against chiliasm. This goal was achieved by referring to the thoughts of St. Augustine, Luther and Paul Althaus - theologians representing three different historical periods. The arguments against chiliasm taken from these theologians are of anthropological nature (the implementation of the Kingdom of God exceeds the human capacity) and indicate the importance of structures (state, church) in ensuring stability and durability on earth.
