Reviews

[Sam Crosbie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was very well written. A fair and, until the conclusion, seemingly impartial treatment of the four major eschatological positions. Erickson is easy to read while still addressing the subject with academic integrity. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a book on the topic. No view bashing just solid exegetical and historical analysis.

Quick read that's a good introduction to these systems. Could have been more in-depth, however.
