<p>'This little volume sets forth in orderly and eminently readable fashion what most Calvinistic teachers believe concerning 'the Second Advent and questions related thereto. With orthodox Christians of every age, the author holds that our Lord's return will be personal, visible, sudden and unexpected, glorious and triumphant. Of three views styled respectively post-millennialism, pre-millennialism and non-millennialism, he advocates the last named as scriptural and shows that it has been maintained by a large majority of the Fathers and Reformers of the Church. In two valuable chapters dealing with the interpretation of prophecy, he points out that the literalist view leads logically to absurdities and is not adopted by the writers of the New Testament, who specifically state that many of the Old Testament predictions have been fulfilled, albeit in a spiritual sense... A general consideration of N.T. teaching on the subject, is followed by a more detailed review of the doctrine of the Gospels, Epistles and Apocalypse, special attention being devoted to the significance of the 'millennium of Revelation chapter 20. Here is a book that will well repay study by those who seek to understand truth that is basic to Christian faith and hope'.</p>

El Momento Trascendental (Spanish Edition)

El Estandarte de La Verdad

Few Christian Leaders have suffered quite so much mis-understandingas John Calvin. He has often been dismissed as a theologian without humanity.In fact the very reverse is much nearer the truth. He was a man of deep andlasting affection, passionately concerned for the cause of Christ in the world;a man who burned himself out for the gospel; a man whose heart belonged to Christ. In this book the reader will find a straightforward introduction to the life and work of the great Reformer of Geneva. W J. Grier's fast- moving biography not only depicts the titanic struggle by which the gospel was established in Geneva, but also provides valuable insights into the work of God that we know as 'the Reformation'. In Calvin's own words, 'God's loving-kindness to us was wonderful, when the pure gospel emerged out of that dreadful darkness in which it had been buried for so many years.' For Calvin, the Reformation was primarily a movement of the Holy Spirit that turned attention from man-centred religion to God. It is the prayer of the publishers that the retelling of this 'wonderful' story will help in the recovery of God-centred Christianity and the raising up of more 'burning and shining lights' today.
