Reviews

[Brett Potts · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good overall view of endtimes Prophecy. A little out dated but still relevant and relatable. Very heavy on trinitarianism though. A good Introduction for students starting to study eschatology.

[Paul Vawter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is dispensational eschatology for the layman. Pentecost examines texts from both Testaments and considers their implications for today and the future. He doesn't answer all your questions or deal with every relevant text in detail, but this offers the same basic framework as his more scholarly work on the subject.

One highlight for me is that he ends almost every chapter with a gospel plea, demonstrating that one's eschatology is not divorced from the mission of evangelism. This is no mere navel-gazing about obscure texts and imagining wild scenarios out of a science fiction novel, but a measured look at biblical prophecy and its relevance for today.

Good little book. A review of end times prophecy with some added comments.
