The End of All Things: A Defense of the Future

The easiest way to deal with false doctrine is to affirm its absolute opposite. Unfortunately, this opposite affirmation is often no less erroneous than the false doctrine against which it reacts-sometimes, it is worse. Most conservative Christians in the twentieth century have been obsessed with "the last days." An absolute opposite answer has recently emerged in the form of what C. Jonathin Seraiah terms "pantelism," the view that all final events had taken place by the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D.70. With one feel swoop, this viewpoint eviscerates dispensationalism. Unfortunately, it also undermines orthodox Christianity. This book by Seaiah shows that "consistent preterism" is far from consistent with the Biblical evidence and that the Second Coming of Christ is still in the future. Anyone interested in the larger questions of eschatology and hermeneutics will benefit from this book.
