Bernard Hort, « Millénarisme ou amillénarisme ? Regard contemporain sur un conflit traditionnel », Revue Théologique de Louvain, ID : 10.2143/RTL.31.1.2017523
According to Oscar Cullmann's theological thought, God' s victory is already complété and appears in many fragmentary ways during the historical time which follows Jésus Christ' s first coming and goes on untïl the end of history. But our question to this conception is : What is the theological meaning of human estrangement and negativity ? Eschatological faith is given a better existential and social significance by Paul Tillich's theology of «kairos». In this perspective, the fulfilment of the eternal life can be united with the elements of negation, boundary-situation and interrogation without which our time is properly unthinkable.
