Eschatology in Theory and in Practice. An Attempt to Present the Issue Based on Selected Texts of Fr. Jan Berthier MS

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to present two texts by Fr. Jan Berthier MS – Founder of the Missionaries of the Holy Family: a treaty on the last things and a practical method of accompanying the dying. The aim of this article is not to critically analyze Berthier’s eschatology, but to demonstrate on its example the necessity of combining academic lecture of eschatology (theory) with pastoral care (practice). The presentation leads to three conclusions: 1) the continuing need for presence of eschatology in the teaching and practice of the Church; 2) the need to update the understanding of its content and method of its communication; 3) the importance of coherence of eschatological theory and practice.
