The Coming of the Lord Is at Hand Douglas Wilkinson

Eschatology (the study of end-times prophecy) is a complicated and divisive subject. Several mutually exclusive positions are taught in conservative Christian circles. While they might seem similar, the major schools of thought cannot be reconciled. The fundamentals are in dispute. This book is an attempt to start from the basics. What do Jesus and the Apostles mean when they say that the coming of the Lord is at hand? And, what practical advice did they have for their audience? This book is an examination of the terminology, a catalog of various types of time statements, and a commentary on critical issues in eschatology.
