Chris Ganski provides us with an eschatologically infused vision of a church that witnesses to the hope that is ours in Christ in an age of despair. Beginning with evidence of the currently increasing despair, Ganski encourages us to reflect on the hopefulness which should characterize the church in exile. He calls us to honestly consider how we too often place our hope in this-worldly objects. When the church does this, we easily fall into the surrounding despair, thus failing to offer the witness to hope that is our calling. Ganski concludes his essay by grounding our hope in the eschatological reality of Christ’s resurrection, encouraging the church to fulfill our vocation of hopefulness that is so desperately needed today.
