    title = "La Desesperanza en la Biblia: Una Perspectiva Escatológica",
    abstract = "Despair is a recurring human experience in the Bible, often linked to suffering, injustice, and the apparent absence of God. Rather than being denied, it is portrayed as an integral part of biblical faith. This article explores despair through an eschatological lens, revealing its interplay with hope in the coming Kingdom of God. Using a theological-exegetical analysis of key Old and New Testament texts—including Job, the Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, the Gospels, Pauline epistles, and Revelation—the study examines how existential crisis coexists with trust in divine faithfulness. Findings show that despair is not an endpoint but a space for honest confrontation with God, ultimately pointing toward future redemption. The most significant conclusion is that, across both Testaments, despair is eschatologically transformed: fully acknowledged yet transcended through the promise of justice, restoration, and new creation in Christ.",
