“Eternal Fulfillment? Some Thoughts on the Afterlife”

Dr. Kevin Hector is Associate Professor of Theology and of the Philosophy of Religions at the University of Chicago Divinity School. His most recent book, The Theological Project of Modernism: Faith and the Conditions of Mineness, explores the idea of ‘mineness,’ in the sense of being able to identify with one’s life or experience as self-expressive. Tracing the development of this idea in modern theology, Hector offers an account of how faith in God entails faith that one’s life ultimately won’t fall apart; and of what such faith would have to be like in order for one to identify with it.
