  Apocalypse Recalled : The Book Of Revelation After Christendom

  $56.66

  The Book of Revelation has often been read as a set of endtime scenarios, glorifying a vengeful God and predicting and even fomenting apocalyptic violence. Yet it continues to exert a profound hold on the dreams and visions, fears and nightmares of our contemporary, first-world, secular culture. Harry Maier insists that, however much one is skeptical of its misuse or awed by its influence, Revelation still harbors a powerful and important message for Christians today. His fascinating book, erudite yet also intensely personal, asks us to recall Apocalypse through a careful exegesis of Revelation’s deeper literary currents against the backdrop of imperial Rome. He explores the narrrator’s literary identity, the plot or journey of the text, its many ocular and aural dimensions, and the ambiguous temporal dimensions of its “past vision of a future time.” Revelation, he believes, “offers an inversion of the violent and militaristic ideals of a first-century Roman Empire by offering a highly ironical political parody of imperial politics and insisting the true power belongs to the hero of the Apocalypse, the Slain Lamb.” In the end, Apocalypse Recalled seeks to free the imprisoned John of Patmos and employ his massively influential and controversial text to awaken a sleeping, sidelined, and culturally assimilated church to new imperatives of discipleship.

  Time Of Travail

  $16.86

  A Time of Travail, a simple study into the book of Revelation and the Hebrew prophets, brings to light the sequence of events that must occur prior to, as well as those that will occur during the Tribulation. By taking both the Old and New Testament scriptural passages and bringing them together, it demonstrates to the reader that prophetic scripture cannot be separated into two books, but rather it is a single book that was given to the Jew first and then reiterated for the benefit of the rest of mankind as a warning of things to come. This book will not always give earthly rational answers to an event because we truly serve a God who is beyond earth’s confinement and it’s associated physical laws. A Time of Travail is intended for those: Who desire to understand the sequence of events that must precede the tribulation and why, as well as those events that will occur during the tribulation. Wishing to understand the correlation between Old and New Testament prophetic scriptures in a simple way. Who would like to meet the players during this period of time with all the symbolism peeled away. Offering some non-earthy answers and corresponding rationale to some of the events that will be administered by a God not bound by our physical laws.

  Beasts Of Eschatology And Related Subjects

  $18.73

  The most important one is represented by the scarlet-colored beast of Revelation 17. His activities are given in verse 8. This is Satan’s demon king who demonizes two of the seven that are represented by the seven heads on the beast. This conclusion is reached by giving equal value to every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. (Matt. 4:4) We realize that wisdom only comes from God. He gives it according to His will. So we rejoice in the Spirit, as Jesus did, when the seventy returned with joy. He said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and revealed them unto babes; even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Luke 10:21)

  2nd Coming : A Wesleyan Approach To The Doctrine

  $26.99

  A conspicuous silence on eschatology-the study of last things-pervades the ranks of Wesleyan scholars, which has led to some unfortunate circumstances.
  H. Ray Dunning notes with concern, “While we have been busy with other themes, foreign ideas have virtually stolen the store in this area of theology, with the odd phenomenon that eschatological teachings that are contrary to both good biblical scholarship and Wesleyan theology have virtually assumed the status of orthodoxy among Wesleyans, as well as among other evangelical Christians.”

  This book is an attempt to break the silence. Ten noted Wesleyan scholars probe both the historical and contemporary influences that have shaped the prevailing evangelical view of end-time events.

  You will be challenged to take a more thoughtful and discerning look at what is widely held today in the study of last things, while keeping a strong focus on what Scripture clearly presents as undebatable: Christ will come again.

  In challenging both traditional and contemporary notions of the nature and history of the Biblical apocalyptic literature, Professor Hanson begins by saying that the origins of apocalyptic cannot be explained by a method which juxtaposes seventh and second century compositions and then proceeds to account for the features of the latter by reference to its immediate environment. “The apocalyptic literature of the second century and after is the result of a long development reaching back to pre-exilic times and beyond, and not the new baby of second century foreign parents. Not only the sources of origin, but the intrinsic nature of late apocalyptic compositions can be understood only by tracing the centuries-long development through which the apocalptic eschatology developed from prophetic and other even more archaic native roots.”

  In this ground breaking study, Professor Hanson focuses on one strand which can be seen running through the heart of many of the so-called apocalyptic works, the strand of apocalyptic eschatology. He seeks to demonstrate that the rise of apocalyptic eschatology is neither sudden nor anomalous, but follows the pattern of an unbroken development from preexilic and exilic prophecy.

  By means of a detailed analysis of the Hebrew text and a new translation of it into English, Professor Hanson demonstrates why scholars must look again at the apocalyptic eschatology. This contextual-typological approach will call for a reexamination of many opinions about this literature.

  Last Things A Print On Demand Title

  $17.99

  Scriptural prophecies about the end times have been the subject of a great number of books. Many of them, however, are popularized accounts containing little thoughtful biblical scholarship. Yet the serious studies available are often too difficult for the average reader to understand. George Eldon Ladd has endeavored to rectify this situation with a serious discussion of eschatology written for the layperson.

  Two radically different interpretations of the relationship between the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments have been offered. One view sees separate programs for Israel and the Christian church, while the other recognizes progressive revelation and a unity of the Testaments.

  Professor Ladd holds the latter position, basing his doctrine of the last things on the conviction that “our final word . . . is to be found in the New Testament reinterpretation of Old Testament prophecy.” Only as the prophecies are seen in the light of God’s revelation through Christ can we clearly comprehend what they mean in relation to the end times.
