Our Past and Future Hope: Reintroducing a Traditional Faith-Building Eschatology

The modern interpretation of prophecy in the Bible is rife with speculation, conspiracy, and ultimately fear. The study of it seems to lead one to either an unhealthy obsession or an apprehensive apathy.

As it turns out, it was not this way in generations past. The traditional understanding of eschatology- also known as historicism- relies on hindsight rather than speculation, confident fulfillment in place of conspiracy, and fosters hope instead of fear. This book is an introduction to that method, and a faith-building journey in Scripture that reveals a God who never leaves his people without direction.
