Walter Klaassen has rendered the church of Jesus Christ an invaluable service with this volume. His critical analysis of current doomsday thinking should go a long way in restoring a measure of sanity to those who are caught up in speculations about the end-times.
With considerable courage, Klaassen confronts many of the unbiblical views on how history will end, views made popular by writers who have espoused the dispensational system of hermeneutics. In the second part of his book, he offers a biblical alternative to some of the bizarre interpretations of the Scriptures by those who lay out in detail the scenario of how and when the present age will end.
I commend the author for tackling this controversial area of thought. I recommend this book to those who take biblical eschatology seriously. David Ewert, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Studies Concord College, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Walter Klaassen's book provides an effective antidote to the one-sided presentation of the Christian message given by premillennial dispensationalists. His thorough analysis of their doctrines shows the weakness of their interpretations of the Bible and the speculative nature of their claims about the rapture and the second coming of Christ. At the same time, Klaassen warns against the danger of a secularized Christianity that neglects the spiritual aspect of its heritage.
Klaassen offers an alternative vision of the kingdom of God, based on a balanced interpretation of the New Testament. Instead of putting undue emphasis on the book of Revelation, he gives full weight to the teaching of the Gospels and the epistles, stressing both the spiritual and the ethical dimensions of that teaching. Although Klaassen does not neglect the theme of judgment, he depicts Jesus as essentially the Prince of peace, whose kingdom is present as well as future, and whose victories are won by peaceful means. Arthur W. Wainwright, Professor of New Testament Emeritus Candler School of Theology, Emory University
Klaassen's critique of the prophecy popularizers is certainly well taken. Paul S. Boyer, Author, When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture
