This book is excellent reading and is well-balanced! I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in end-time events from a scholarly point of view. There is no sensationalism here, just the facts, presented by one who has certainly done his homework, has taught the subject for many years at a respected Bible college in the Detroit area, and presents the various views on prophecy with dignity and respect. Further, the author has a pastor's heart (for he is one) and is able to take a calm look at the sign of the times and instruct us as to how we should then live.
Thoughtful book on a complex subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Albert Einstein once said that everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. The problem with many popular works on the end times is that they try to oversimplify this complex subject. Mr. Lewis avoids this trap: this is not an easy subject and he has not written an easy book. Taking a thoughtful look at what the whole of Scripture says, he challenges many common assumptions and offers a perspective that many readers may be seeing for the first time. Refreshingly, he is willing to leave open the issues about which Scripture is unclear.There are those who will not like this volume. Those who want prophecy condensed into a well-defined, neat little package, or who merely want support for the positions they already hold, or who are looking for the Christian equivalent of the horoscope column will be disappointed. The author doesn't claim to have all the answers, but he does have thoughtful and challenging answers to at least these three questions. I strongly recommend it.
