By Romano Guardini

Some of the questions which occupy the human mind…may be set aside, but there are others which must be faced or we shall be left helplessly in the dark about the essentials of existence. Among these are the questions concerning the Last Things. (Romano Guardini)

The Last Things is an outline of Christian doctrine concerning the end of time and the final events of human existence: death, resurrection, purification, the Last Judgment, and eternal life. With his acute sense for the growing rift between the modern world and the Christian outlook, Guardini establishes the relationship between the timeless truths of revelation and the spiritual and intellectual situation of the present age. Through the lens of materialism and scientism, eschatology is especially enigmatic, if not altogether incomprehensible. Yet Christianity reveals the true essence of humanity, and so unveils the mystery of humanity’s beginning, present, and ultimate end.

Incisive and interesting, Romano Guardini offers in The Last Things a timeless reflection on the interplay of human nature and divine grace in the drama of history and salvation.

Romano Guardini (1885–1968) was a Catholic priest, professor, and author. He taught theology and philosophy at the University of Berlin, University of Tübingen, and University of Munich. Included among his intellectual disciples are Josef Pieper, Luigi Giussani, and Joseph Ratzinger.
