In this seminal book, titled Remembering the Future: Towards an Eschatological Ontology, Zizioulas argues that eschatology is not merely a future doctrine, but an existential orientation—an active lens through which the Church understands history, ethics, community, and its very being. This presentation focuses on the future-oriented reading of tradition in Zizioulas' theology, highlighting how this hermeneutical approach can be applied to contemporary challenges posed to the church by the postmodern context, such as the interpretation of tradition, the church's witness to the current pluralistic world, and the ordination of women. Based on such an eschatological reading of tradition, the latter is not then a nostalgic repetition or uncritical acceptance of the past, but a creative continuity in the Holy Spirit and an openness to the future, to the much-awaited new world of the kingdom of God. As for the ordination of women, the paper explores to what extent Zizioulas's thought understands that the objections to women's ordination, which were usually founded on the realm of history, could also be justified in an eschatological perspective.
