Description
Book SynopsisOffers a robust, canonically holistic ‘figural eschatology’ that has not been defended in three centuries. By being more faithful to Christian Scripture, this is an approach more theologically promising than any offered in the modern era, including the twentieth century ‘rediscovery of eschatology’.
