Abstract

Resumen El pronóstico científico de un fin del universo debido al fenómeno físico de la entropía constituye un desafío para la esperanza cristiana de una salvación del cosmos. En el presente artículo se presenta una visión general del problema planteado por la física para, a continuación, realizar un recorrido por la esperanza cristiana tal como aparece en los principales textos bíblicos y de la tradición eclesial, y culminar, finalmente, con una síntesis de la respuesta que dan dos de los autores actuales que se han ocupado del tema al problema propuesto.The scientific prognosis of an end of the universe due to the physical phenomenon of entropy constitutes a challenge to the Christian hope of a salvation of the cosmos. In the present article a general view of the problem posed by physics is presented, followed by a tour of Christian hope as it appears in the main biblical texts and the ecclesial tradition, and finally, a synthesis of the answer given by two of the current authors who have addressed the issue to the proposed problem.
