Things to Come: A Study in Biblical Eschatology - Hardcover

by J. Dwight Pentecost (Author)

A comprehensive and accessible study of eschatology for anyone interested in the important subject of biblical prophecy.

The Bible and its revelation about Jesus Christ's return is the one source of hope and confidence for the future in these dark days. Approximately one-fourth of the Bible was prophetic at the time it was written, meaning that a greater body of Scripture is devoted to the unfolding of God's plan than any other one subject. God, the architect of the ages, has seen fit to take us into His confidence concerning His great design.

But until Things To Come was published, the treatment of biblical prophecy had been mainly either apologetic or expository, with prophetic themes being developed individually, apart from their relation to the whole revealed prophetic program. This methodology produces fragmentary and unrelated knowledge of the subject.

In this monumental classic, Dr. Dwight Pentecost has synthesized the whole field of prophecy into a unified biblical doctrine, a systematic and complete biblical eschatology. He deftly handles many controversial topics, including a detailed presentation of premillennial eschatology.

With nearly a quarter of a million copies sold, Things to Come has earned its place in the library of the pastor, the scholar, and the seminarian or Bible institute student.

Because of the prominence of prophecy in Scripture, many excellent books have appeared dealing with prophetic subjects. Until recently, however, the treatment of prophecy has been either apologetic or expository, and prophetic themes have been developed individually apart from their relation to the whole revealed prophetic program. Much of our knowledge has been only fragmentary and unrelated. Dr. Dwight Pentecost's monumental text, Things to Come, has changed all that. In this massive, highly successful book, Dr. Pentecost has synthesized the whole field of prophecy into a unified biblical doctrine, a systematic and complete biblical eschatology. With nearly a quarter of a million copies sold, Things to Come has earned its place in the library of the pastor, the scholar, and the seminarian or Bible institute student. In addition, it offers a comprehensive and accessible study for anyone interested in the important subject of biblical prophecy.
