Publisher's Description
▼▲Of all the books of the Bible, few are as fascinating or as intimidating as Revelation.
Four grim horsemen, the Antichrist, the ten-horned beast, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, the "mark of the beast." It's no wonder that these images have griped the imagination of so many--and have been variously interpreted as symbolizing everything from Hitler and Gorbachev to credit cards and the Internet.
Is the book of Revelation a blueprint for the future? A book of powerful symbolic imagery with warnings for the church? Is it essentially an imaginative depiction of historical events in the first century?
Four Views on the Book of Revelation explores four interpretations of the book of the Apocalypse:
- Preterist a historical interpretation, arguing that most of Johns prophecies occurred in the first century, soon after his writing of them.
- Idealist a spiritual or symbolic interpretation, arguing that the events in Revelation are not literal, and that apocalyptic literature requires a different approach than the Gospels or Epistles.
- Classical dispensationalism a literal interpretation based on a reading of Revelation that pays close attention to the rules of grammar and the separate eras of covenantal history.
- Progressive dispensationalism a modification of classical that has its root in the understanding of Christ's reign beginning immediately after the resurrection.
The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
