Unhinged: Restoring Sanity to End Times Teaching
Does most popular end times teaching leave you confused? Have you ever wondered why seemingly continuous predictions of a coming apocalypse never pan out? Or why the people making the predictions, rather than apologizing, simply make new ones that never come to pass? In this book, David Campbell unravels the twisted interpretations of Scripture so prevalent in much current end times teaching. He shows that the key to replacing unhinged teaching is by using the Biblical text as the true hinge on which the door to truth opens. This book contains a comprehensive set of Biblical answers to every end times question you ever thought of asking.

This book is a master class lesson on the supreme value of knowing your entire Bible in order to know your eschatology, or theology, etc.
What Campbell does really well in Unhinged is provide a short, yet thorough summary on how the book of Revelation is interpreted through the rest of the Bible (his premise being that Revelation consists of over 500 references to other verses, primarily in the OT). It goes back to the classic biblical theology lesson: the Bible interprets itself, and we need not look to headlines or even people to tell us what the Bible says about the end (Campbell covers this book with scriptural support for every point he makes).
What Campbell does not do well however is his attitude toward Dispensationalists. I feel that his personal disdain toward them weakens his argument and shows a lack of humility as if eschatology is just that easy to comprehend. Eschatology is probably the most widely debated area of study within Christian theology and is a nonessential. Each viewpoint of the millennium offers valid scriptural support or context to some extent and rarely does anyone arrive at their conclusions with total certainty. However oftentimes throughout the book, it felt like Campbell articulated his position as the supreme one scripturally.
While Campbell’s position is heavily scriptural, there were still some explanations given that weren’t super obvious to me - such as “the two witnesses”, Gog and Magog, Armageddon, and the symbolic use of numbers.
Last, my final critique is more practical than anything else. The importance of eschatology is not just knowing what the Bible says about the end, but also how that knowledge helps you live today. The imminent return of Christ should inspire holy living, love of neighbor, sharing the gospel, and cultivating a love for His return. This book lacked that application, though to be fair, his main goal appears to have been to clear up cultural confusion and date setting regarding the end times.
Regardless of some of my personal criticisms, I will certainly recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-exposited, easy to understand book for support in interpreting Revelation.
