Reviews

[Matthew Bandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would give this book higher ratings because it tries to stay true to its goal of giving several different perspectives on biblical prophecy. Not just one. I'm guessing that the scholars who wrote this book tend to be a bit more positive regarding amillennialism however there does seem to be at least one of the authors who favors historic premillennialism or some type of premillennialism. While I would not recommend it as a book to just sit down and read all the way through, if there are topics that you want to have a brief concept of and understanding of and you want a good reference book regarding prophecy then this is the one for you. It's definitely a dictionary. Again I would recommend it.
