Abstract
This paper draws attention to a substantial gap in the new Christian eschatology pioneered by Bishop Tom Wright and supported by many other theologians, some with solid scientific credentials.

Lacking is a clear exploration of Christian expectations for the future of human and terrestrial history. This is a matter of urgent apologetic and pastoral concern.
