Eschatology prior to soteriology: The cart before the horse?
Eschatology is prior to soteriology - so some say. I don’t think I was shocked the first time I heard or read this, probably because I did not understand what was meant. Is this putting the cart before the horse? I think not. Here’s a brief piece from the “Conclusion” of my dissertation.
Vos and Owen had similar views on the primacy of eschatology to soteriology. For both Vos and Owen (and Reformed orthodoxy), eschatology precedes soteriology in the revelational scheme of Scripture. Eden was infused with eschatological potential. The probationary element of the covenant of works was a mechanism designed to translate Adam and those he represented to a higher, confirmed state of righteousness and immutable communion with God. The eschatology offered to Adam is what Christ, the last Adam, brings elect sinners to by his gracious work and power. God’s eschatological ‘plan A’ is what Christ confers upon those he came to represent. Soteriology, then, became the exclusive means to the same end originally offered to Adam in the Garden.
Thank You Dr. Renihan
