Teaching the Christian Hope: Unlocking Biblical Eschatology for the Bible Teacher

From Text to Message

by David Jackman

What does the future hold? The world is lacking in any real hope. Our culture is characterised by blind people hurtling headlong into hedonism - making sure that all the right boxes of experience are ticked before we die. What can the church offer? This is a book for Bible teachers and readers about what are often regarded as controversial and difficult areas of Scripture; it sets out to enable us to teach with clarity and purpose what will happen in the 'End Times'. There are six major themes connected with the Christian hope in the future. Each chapter uses one or two key passages that explain one of the major themes of eschatology and then covers the main elements that need to be answered within that theme. The hallmark of this series of books is that each one teaches the truth of God's Scriptures and also offers real help for those involved in teaching the material to others. Each chapter is clearly divided into 'teachable' sections with headings and sub-headings. These aid the reader to recognise the teaching flow of the doctrinal elements under discussion. Do you want to know the future? Here's how it can be faced with hope.

[Matt Chapman]

This was a deeply helpful and hope-stirring read. It’s consistently rooted in the biblical text, drawing out the riches of what God has revealed about our future and the world to come. It also provides a clear and compelling framework for what could easily become a five- or six-week thematic sermon series on this theme.
