Description
A comprehensive—yet compact—resource for those who truly desire to understand prophecy and eschatology in the Bible.
An A-to-Z Guide to Biblical Prophecy and the End Times provides helpful, concise articles on a broad sweep of topics relevant to the study of biblical prophecy and end times, including:
- The Second Coming
- Resurrection
- Dispensationalism
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
- Zionism
- Restoration of Israel
- Islam
- and the much more…
Each article is based on solid scholarship, yet are clear and accessible to the lay reader, illuminating even the most complicated issues. The dictionary also strives for a balanced presentation by laying out differing positions along with their strengths and weaknesses, while not pushing any specific theological or interpretive agenda other than a firm commitment to seeking to understand the Scriptures.
This is a valuable tool you will refer to time and again.
