Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Promise of His Coming: A Historical Interpretation and Revolution of the Idea of the Second Advent Two things have been undertaken in the following pages. First the obscure origin and the slow and uncertain development of the Hebrew, Jewish, and Christian hope of a better world have been set forth. The sources of certain particular phases of the premillennial view have been indicated, but to attempt this with any approach to completeness would have required too much space. This historical survey secures a proper basis of operations for the second part of the task, the attempt to indicate and reinterpret the fundamental social and religious values of the Christian hope of the second coming of Christ. I have long felt that large numbers of modern Christians did not properly estimate the historical influence or present importance of Premillennialism, or, to use a still more pedantic term, apocalypticism. Until a historical interpretation and revaluation of this complex of ideas is accepted in the churches they will be at a great strategic disadvantage in meeting the attacks of unbelief. The Premillennialist is tactically in a position much superior to other Christians who have a merely negative view on the subject, for he has a perfectly definite and clear-cut plan of campaign. Large areas of biblical and subsequent Christian literature are valueless to the average churchmember, because of their strange eschatological growths and forbidding apocalyptic colorings. From these fields the Adventist and Premillennialist reap rich harvests. They will yield even more abundantly to a cultivation which does not misuse them.
