Teaching the Christian Hope
Unlocking Biblical Eschatology for the Expositor
Description
The world is lacking in any real hope. Our culture is characterised by a blind people hurtling headlong into hedonism - making sure that all the right boxes of experience are ticked before we die. What can the church offer?
The 'Left Behind' series, and its offspring, have left a confused church in their wake. A church lacking confidence about its teaching. What will happen in the future? Because if God is omniscient then he knows, so what has he told us in the Bible and is it important to know?
This is a book for Bible teachers and readers about what are often regarded as controversial and difficult areas of scripture. Rather than tantalise the reader with slick answers to pretty theories, however, this book sets out to enable us to teach with clarity and purpose what will happen in the 'End Times.'
Here are six major themes connected with the Christian hope in the future. Each chapter uses one or two key passages that explain one of the major themes of eschatology and then covers the main elements that need to be answers within that theme.
