Description
The Last Things: An Eschatology for Laymen by George Eldon Ladd A serious discussion of eschatology written for the layperson, this book offers a thoughtful exploration of scriptural prophecies about the end times. Two main interpretations of the relationship between the Old and New Testaments are presented, with Professor Ladd advocating for a progressive revelation approach that sees unity between the two. Ladd's doctrine is based on the conviction that "our final word...is to be found in the New Testament reinterpretation of Old Testament prophecy." By examining the prophecies in light of God's revelation through Christ, readers can gain a clearer understanding of their meaning in relation to the end times. This approach aims to provide a more nuanced and accessible understanding of eschatology for those without extensive theological background. With 119 pages of thoughtful analysis, this paperback edition is an ideal choice for anyone looking to explore the subject of eschatology in a clear and concise manner.
