Cole, MW (2017) Mustard seeds and the Eschaton: how an Aristotelian metaphysics solves the paradox between history and Eschatology. In: Mitralexis, S, (ed.) Mustard Seeds in the Public Square: Between and Beyond Theology, Philosophy, and Society. Vernon Series in Philosophy . Vernon Press , Wilmington, Delaware; Malaga, Spain , pp. 191-221.

Abstract
The Catholic Church teaches that the fullness of the Eschaton came with Jesus Christ and his life, death, and resurrection. But the Church also teaches that evil is still present and that the world is moving toward the Eschaton. Taken together, these two teachings seem to contradict. I argue that an Aristotelian account of causation resolves the tension.
