Product Description

This book is an attempt to set forth Biblical eschatology, or what the Bible teaches about the future. The point of view adopted in this study regarding the coming of the kingdom of God: both present and future, recognizes a distinction between the "already" ,the present state of the kingdom as inaugurated by Christ, and the "not yet", the final establishment of the kingdom which will take pla ce at the time of Christ's Second Coming. This is the third in a compendium of doctrinal studies that includes Created in God's Image and Saved by Grace.

The Bible and the Future 4.8 5 5 5

I heartily recommend this exigetically sound book for anyone seeking clarity on all specific matters pertaining to individual and general eschatology. Coming from an unabashedly amillennialist perspective, Hoekema presents a strong and compelling alternative position to premillennialism, especially the Dispensationalist variety. March 23, 2010

Excellent. Hoekema has taken a subject that often leaves many confused in sensationalism, and uncovered a clear path to understanding the present and coming Kingdom of God. November 18, 2009

I have enjoyed and recommended this book for years. Though slightly dated, and therefore not conversant with the current debate over radical preterism, it remains by far the single most comprehensive and penetrating volume on eschatology available. It is particularly helpful in explaining and refuting the Dispensational heresy that so beclouds the Blessed Hope of the Church. Yet the spirit of the book is always irenic, never schismatic. If, along with this book, you buy More Than Conquerors (Wm. Hendrickson)and Leupold's commentary on Daniel, your eschatology library will be complete. December 1, 2006

The best comprehensive treatment of Reformed amillennialism and eschatology in print. Must reading! Also, to complement this one, Cornelius Venema's, Promise of the Future, along with Kim Riddlebarger's, A Case for Amillennialism. April 25, 2006
