What On Earth Is God Doing?
Renald Showers is best known for his writings on prophecy. I had recently read a few of his books and chose this one also. It is a summary look at the history of Israel from its time of choosing by God to its captivity, and final rejection of its Messiah. Showers then traces the church […]
The Popular Handbook on the Rapture
I enjoyed this book very much as I do most dispensational, pretribulational, premillennial books. Twelve authors provide twenty one chapters on interesting subjects including various defenses of the pretribulational rapture: two chapters supporting the “departure” view of 2 Thes. 2:3 (by H. Wayne House and Tim LaHaye); reasons for interpreting prophecy literally (by Thomas Ice); […]
The Pre-Wrath Rapture View
I have read this book late. Showers wrote this in 2001 and the pre-wrath view of the rapture came into voque in 1990 with Marv Rosenthal’s The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church, and in 1992 with Robert Van Kampen’s The Sign. I read them at the time but now have reason to study the view […]
The Kingdom in History and Prophecy
I read this book on Kindle. Though it’s hard for me to read without a pencil in my hand I made it through just fine. I like reading this older dispensational premillennialist especially when it comes to prophetic things. Sure, I find some minor points with which I disagree, but I miss the plain speaking […]
The Blessed Hope and the Tribulation
I read this 1976 book again. The old Dallas Seminary of those days was so good at dispensationalism and eschatology. Here Walvoord (President of Dallas at the time) critiques the 1973 postribulationalist book by Robert Gundry, The Church and the Tribulation. Gundry had become popular as a premillennialist and mostly a dispensationalist. So his postribulationalism […]
The Rapture Question
I recently reread this book on a Kindle version because I had loaned my hard copy out which never found its way home. I thoroughly enjoy Walvoord on the Second Coming especially on the rapture. This book contains a progress of thought on the rapture in the New Testament, an evaluation of the recent postribulational […]
The Prophetic Word in Crisis Days
This was a lengthy book on prophesy which is now available on Kindle. These messages were first given in Southern California at the West Coast Prophetic Conference in 1961. Authors included John Walvoord, J. Dwight Pentecost, John Woodbridge, J. Vernon McGee, and others. These were messages confirming the pretribulational and premillennial comings of Christ. It […]
The Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Chri...
This was an early (1981) Word of Grace Bible Study book. MacArthur, being a graduate of Talbot Seminary, has always been a pretribulationalist though a weak dispensationalist. He writes, “I’m convinced that the correct view is pretribulational. So, when I say that I’m premillennial and pretribulational, I’m saying that I’m committed to the fact that […]
The End Times
This book comes from that era (1969) of Premillennial Bible Colleges and prophetic conferences. Hoyt was Chancellor of Grace College and Theological Seminary in Winona Lake, Indiana, a Grace Brethren School. Many of my own professors were graduates of Grace and received good dispensational and premillennial teaching. Other good writers associated with that school were […]
