This book, the fourth in the new 'I believe' series, commends itself by the importance of its subject and the eirenic spirit in which it is presented - for within the bounds of reverent submission to the Scriptures as the Word of God devout students of eschatology have not always agreed and not infrequently taken each other by the throat!
The Higtons earn our gratitude for a remarkably wide and calm coverage. Four chapters clear the ground: what will happen? Is there life after death? Is hell outdated? Will Jesus return? Four chapters follow, on the 'millennium', understanding the Old Testament, modern Israel, and interpreting Revelation, with a concluding summary and application.
