That is an enormous question. I hope your professor narrowed it a little more than that and that she knows the correct spelling of eschatology.

Christianity and Salvation, Revelation, Incarnation and Eschatology?

Terms, which Chrstians and Jewish people have in common, with slightly different views.

Salvation:
Christians believe in the salvation of their souls through Christ's sacrifice for human sins. Christ was called "the lamb of God" and said this is my blood (wine), this is my body (bread). Take and eat for the remission of sin. This way Jesus sacrificed himself for the animals, the little lambs which were slaughtered by the thousands for the Passover, in order for God to forgive the sins of people. Jesus sat an end to this slaughter. This is not understood in modern Christian religion yet.

Revelation
Revealtion reveals things to come, in symbols. The symbols are not easy to understand and were obviously used to preserve the true meaning for a time to come to be revealed to people. Revelation is a section of the Bible. Unfotunately, many symbols are nowadays taken literally and literal text is taken as symbols. This may confuse the true message. We will learn about the meaning of revelation when it can be translated from the symbolic text to regular text.

Incarnation
By this is mainly understood the incarnation of God in Christ. God became man. Christ was the ideal man, as we all should be, and God's son. On the other hand, reincarnation is not accepted by most Christians, yet, it is mentioned in the Bible. The disciples asked Jesus if not Elias has to come before the Messiah, and Jesus answered, he has come already, and they did to him what they wanted. And the disciples understood that Jesus was talking about John the Baptist! This is reincarnation in the Bible, my understanding, which cannot be easily explained as non-existent.

Eschatology
The teaching of the end times, the doctrin of last things to come. As predicted in revelation. I especially like the last part of revelation, the description of the New Jerusalem. Christians believe in the last judgment, restoration of the dead, and a life everlasting.

So many secrets are in the Bible, all not understood, yet.
Get yourself a good grade.
