Jim Fletcher admits to having a fascination when it comes to the end of the world. Will it come in a cataclysm? In an inferno? Will it come at all? Fletcher has spent much of his adult life in search of the truth about the Bible and Bible prophecy. In this book, he clearly demonstrates just how relevant (and true) the Bible really is, showing how... Despite the mockery of the Bible today, we are in fact living in the last days of world history, as outlined in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures. With humor and a keen eye for pop culture, Fletcher walks you through the opinions of people from the famous to the obsure and then demonstrates conclusively that the Bible's predictions are turn... and there's nothing to be afraid of. 204 pages, paper.

In The Return of Jesus in Early Christianity, John T. Carroll and three other scholars describe the origins of this hope in ancient writings and its persistence to the present. Chapters on the New Testament explore the theme of the parousia, or return, of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts, in the writings of Paul (a chapter by Alexandra Brown), in the Johannine writings, and in the Catholic Epistles. Jeffrey S. Siker describes Christian hope for Jesus' return in the two hundred years after the last New Testament books were written. Claudia J. Setzer relates the Christian hope to Jewish messianic expectations. A final chapter surveys key developments from Augustine through the Reformation to North American developments. Carroll concludes that even at the end of the twentieth century, Christian theology is irreducibly eschatological. 236 pages, hardcover, bibliography, index.
