Summary: | No sensationalism here. Written for the popular reader by notable evangelical scholars, these fourteen essays respect the original setting and content of biblical prophecy. The historical perspective lacking in many contemporary sensationalistic writings illuminates individual prophetic messages. F.F. Bruce supplying the foreword, other contributors include William A. Dryness, Robert G. Clouse, Ian S. Rennie, Carl Edwin Armerding, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., Donald A. Hagner, C.M. Kempton Hewitt, James R. Ross, George Eldon Ladd, Richard N. Longenecker, J. Stafford Wright, John Warwick Montgomery, James P. Martin, Edmund P. Clowney, Paul E. Leonard, and W. Ward Gasque. The subjects are as broad as prophecy itself, ranging from a study of astrology and prophetic speculation to the return of Christ and the Last Judgement. The ordinary Christian will find that this handbook offers him a sane alternative to the present myriad of books heralding the certainty of the End. It will help the layman sort through the mass of conflicting claims and counter-claims, giving him some basic principles for interpreting "Bible prophecy."
