Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a short compendium of Greek words and terms used in the New Testament that are essential for the student of eschatology to understand the return of Jesus Christ. The collection of these words and terms comes with examples from the Bible as they apply to the study of eschatology.
Having a short compendium of eschatological terms can be extremely useful to the new student of eschatology, especially if one is not familiar with Koine Greek. The student who gains a thorough understanding of these words and terms will be better equipped to properly develop their own eschatological theology. By being familiar with the words and terms in this compendium, the student of eschatology will be more able to understand the theology of the passages in which they are used.
The author's eschatological teaching experience has shown him that as students do not understand the key words or phrases relative to the return of Jesus Christ, they remain at a distinct personal disadvantage to master the apocalyptic story of the eschaton. Many of the author's students have asked for a compendium of this type to use a reference material.
This book is written in an easy to read and comprehendible form. It is not complex reading. The commentary within it utilizes a detailed verse-by-verse study method that will allow the reader to gain a broader, yet deeper understanding than perhaps he previously had. It provides the details that allows a reader to independently develop their own theology without having one thrown at them. The additional information in the appendix will be especially helpful to the new student of eschatology.
The author has studied eschatology and taught the Bible for 38 years before writing this very important book.
