Abstract
Augustine always cherished a strong hope in the fulfillment of human life and history and in God’s coming judgment. He remained agnostic about the time of history’s end, or what the signs of its nearness would be, but held firmly to the Church’s hope in the resurrection of the body, and the reward of the just and punishment of sinners in bodily and spiritual ways. His writings also gradually show another, increasingly important dimension of his eschatological hope: the conviction that we, who live “extended” in time, are constantly engaged in an encounter with God’s non-spatial, timeless truth.|Keywords: eschatology, judgment of God, eternal life, resurrection of the body, millennium, hope
