“Do You Ever Yearn?” Eschatological Hope in Seinfeld

“Do You Ever Yearn?” Eschatological Hope in Seinfeld 2016-03-29T09:47:26-05:00 Kyle Roberts

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Last week, in my “Immortality and Hope” class, I shared the clip below from Seinfeld.

You remember (if you’re a 40-something like me), that episode where Kramer asks George, “Do you yearn?”

Sometimes he just sits and yearns.

Eschatological hope! Longing, yearning. Groping for a little more life, just out there, in front of us.

Who would have thought? Eschatological hope in Seinfeld.

Sort of.
