Summary "The New Eschatology" by J. G. Broughton Pegg is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores interpretations of Scripture concerning the destruction of the material universe, arguing that such texts have often been misunderstood by commentators. The author posits that the true meaning of these scriptures pertains not to physical destruction but to spiritual matters, specifically the internal state of the church and the loss of genuine faith. The opening of the text delves into the misinterpretations that have arisen within both Jewish and Christian traditions regarding eschatological prophecies, emphasizing a need to distinguish the literal sense of Scripture from its spiritual implications. Pegg critiques the widespread belief in a literal cataclysmic end of the world, presenting instead a framework for understanding these prophecies as representing internal spiritual states and transformations within the church. He argues that the "end of the world" described in biblical texts refers more about changes in spiritual governance and less about the physical universe's destruction, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis of specific scriptural passages and their intended meanings.
