End Times


Book of Revelation by Robert Mounce

 

A great commentary in the New International Commentary on the New Testament series. 


Breaking the Code by Bruce Metzger

 

An excellent study of the major themes of the book of Revelation.


I & II Thessalonians by C.K. Beale

 

An outstanding commentary in the IVP New Testament Commentary series. 


Last Days Madness by Gary DeMar

 

A stunning critique of the habit of end times date-setting that has become prevalent in some dispensational circles.  DeMar offers sound exegesis of Scripture to demonstrate some of the misunderstandings of pre-millennialism.


Revelation by Leon Morris

 

One of the greatest New Testament scholars in the world offers this highly readable exegesis of Revelation in the Tyndale New Testament Commentary series.  If you want a better understanding of the book of Revelation then this is a good place to begin. 


The Blessed Hope by George Eldon Ladd

 

A more accessible work than his more scholarly books, Ladd argues that the blessed hope for Christians is Christ’s second coming not a pre-tribulation rapture.


The Millennial Maze by Stanley Grenz

 

An excellent study of the major evangelical theories of the millennial kingdom.


The Presence of the Future by George Eldon Ladd

 

This is a challenging read but one of the best studies on eschatology by the great New Testament scholar. 


The Promise of the Future by Cornelis Venema

 


The Throne the Lamb & The Dragon by Paul Spilsbury

 

Does a great job of addressing many of the faulty interpretations of the book of Revelation and shows how the book serves to point to the glory of God in the work of Christ. 


Triumph of the Lamb by Dennis Johnson
