What to expect
In this helpful book, Allen and Cornwall explain how we don't have to subscribe to sensationalist theories or sketchy interpretations to believe in Christian hope. They walk the listener through the central biblical teachings on last things and then show the ways the church has interpreted those teachings throughout the centuries. In a respectful way, the authors demonstrate that end-time beliefs centered on the Rapture came into existence only recently, and they then offer several more life-affirming, contemporary interpretations as alternatives.
This book is designed to help pastors develop both topical and lectionary-based sermon series on Christian hope.

Synopsis
Various ideas float around about the subject of last things, leading many Christians to conclude that they don't know what to think about the subject.
