Revelations of the End: A Fresh Look at an Ancient Eschatology - Paperback

by Robert Andy Gowins (Author)

Revelations of the End: A Fresh Look at an Ancient Eschatology is not a traditional chapter-and-verse breakdown of the major themes of the New Testament book of Revelation. It is, however, an eschatological commentary that utilizes the framework of the book of Revelation to revisit the traditional and orthodox end-time teachings of the church for most of its history. The book attempts to address the eschatological expectations of the early first-century church, for whom this apocalyptic and prophetic letter was originally written. It seeks to explain the Old Testament eschatological expectations through the structure of New Testament eschatological revelations as expressed through the letter of Revelation. This eschatological commentary is an attempt to revisit the biblical, historical, and orthodox teachings of the church concerning matters of the last days.
