Many of us have read Leon Wood for text books in seminary. Wood was long-time professor and Dean of Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary until his death in 1977. In those days Grand Rapids was the flagship school of the GARBC and the voice for dispensational, premillennial, and pretribulational truths among the churches. This book explains […]

Jesus The King Is Coming
This book is a collection of writings by current writers (1975) on the subject of prophecy. It is an overview of prophetic events done by pretribulational and premillennial writers. You should know Charles Feinberg who himself was Jewish and a leading authority on Jewish history and Old Testament languages. He writes, “The hope of believers […]
Prophecy For Today
Pentecost is one of my favorite writers, especially on prophecy. I strongly recommend his larger work, Things To Come and his work on the life of Christ, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ. This book is a shorter work (about 200 pages) which takes the reader through a chronological picture of prophecy from the […]
Not Wrath But Rapture
I ordered and read this short book by Ironside on Kindle. Personally I love to read Ironside and have learned much from this solid Bible teacher of a generation ago. Ironside was a dispensational premillennialist and a pretribulationalist. His comments in this short book are good and consistent about the rapture. The one oddity that […]
The Second Coming of Christ
Moody books put no author on this book other than the seven people who wrote the seven chapters. They are: Harriet Beecher Stowe, D.L. Moody, J.C. Ryle, George Müller, D.W. Whittle, George C. Needham, and Charles H. Spurgeon. An invitation of sorts is given anonymously at the end. I bought this book while “rescuing a […]
The Only Hope of the Church or World
See this month’s article (Aletheia, June, 2012) for my appreciation of this book. Riley was a fundamentalist from Minneapolis who fought against the social gospel of his day that was being pushed by liberals. The liberal approach was to change the definitions of the church and the kingdom and take the emphasis away from personal […]
Midnight Rising
This book (forwarded by Earl D. Radmacher) is a recent composition regarding end time events. Simpson is dispensational, pretribulational, and orthodox in his basic eschatology. His point of view here is that the antichrist, though coming out of the European revived Roman Empire, will be an American, most probably the president. He sees the little […]
Our Blessed Hope
This 1884 book is the most encouraging book I’ve read in the field of prophecy in a long time (and I’ve read a lot!). It is a collection of extended articles on the Second Coming, all emphasizing the literal interpretation of prophetic passages and the pre-millennial return of Christ. Authors include Joseph Seiss and Bishop […]
The Triumph of the Crucified
This companion book to Dawn of World Redemption (also 1951) takes the history of redemption from the first coming of Christ, through the age of the Church, to the world system of the antichrist, and then to the literal millennial kingdom of God on earth. The order of resurrections is given in detail followed by […]
The Rapture
I have always enjoyed Tim LaHaye’s writings when he writes alone and not fiction. LaHaye has always been a dispensationalist and a pretrib rapturist. I suppose the Left Behind series served a purpose but they were too much fiction and not enough doctrine. In this book, LaHaye returns to his roots and defends the pretrib […]
