Biblical Eschatology provides what is not found in any other single volume on eschatology: it analyzes all the major eschatological passages (including the Olivet Discourse and the book of Revelation), issues (including the second coming of Christ, the millennium, the rapture, and Antichrist), and positions (including all the major views of the millennium) in a clear, but not superficial, way. The book concludes with a chapter showing how eschatology is relevant for our lives. Biblical Eschatology makes understanding eschatology easier by including chapters on how to interpret prophecy and apocalyptic literature, by showing the history of eschatological thought, and by placing eschatology in the context of the Bible's overall story line and structure. Clarity and understanding are enhanced by the use of comparative tables and appendices. Subject and Scripture indexes are included. The book interacts with the best of Evangelical and Reformed scholarship, and the extensive bibliography (which includes the web addresses of many online resources) provides an excellent source for the reader's further study. This is a perfect resource for intelligent Christians, including pastors, students, and teachers, who desire to understand eschatology and to see how it fits together with the rest of the Bible Jonathan Menn is the Director of Equipping Church Leaders-East Africa,after having served as East Africa Director of Equipping PastorsInternational for six years.

I find the book comprehensive, thorough, meticulous, and lovingly fair in its treatment of all the millennial views. It is well organized and researched, simple to read, and a valuable reference tool for every student's library. It's extensive, scholarly, and biblical. In my opinion, it should be required reading in every seminary, no matter their denominational or eschatological beliefs." Joseph R. Nally, Third Millennium Ministries, RPM, vol. 21, no. 20 (May 12 to May 18, 2019) (Online:thirdmill.org/magazine/article.asp/link/https:%5E%5Ethirdmill.org%5Earticles%5Ejos_nally%5Ejos_nally.menn.BE.html/at/A%20Book%20Review%20of%20Biblical%20Eschatology,%20%20written%20by%20Jonathan%20Menn) "This book is a helpful, far-ranging, and yet still substantive engagement with the Scriptures for understanding eschatology in the highest sense: how it should shape our knowing and following God. Menn provides a well-argued a millennial interpretation of Scripture and,more far-reaching, a well-argued set of considerations about how eschatology works within the Bible and how it should function within the life of the church. Menn's work is a welcome and highly commendable contribution on the topic of eschatology." Nat Erickson, PhD candidate,The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Presbyterion, vol.45, no. 2 (Fall 2019). At nearly 600 pages, counting the extensive appendices and indexes, it is not light reading, but it is a worthwhile one not just for thosedeeply invested in eschatology, but also for those who have not given the topic much thought. . . . Tables, diagrams, and outlines are bountiful and helpful. In the second edition, the author adds these tothe index for easy reference. . . . He is deeply knowledgeable about eschatological literature, which is cited thoroughly and carefully throughout. Menn has given us a wise, balanced, and thoughtful work that belongs in the curriculum of universities and schools of theology.Biblical Eschatology is a major work of scholarship and could fairly be called the most comprehensive book on the subject to date." Rev. John McFadden, Africanus Journal, vol. 12, no. 2 (November 2020) Online:gordonconwell.edu/boston/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/Africanus-Journal-12.2-web.pdf) As in the first edition, this second edition of Biblical Eschatology analyzes all of the major eschatological passages, issues, and positions in a fair, clear, but not superficial way. It tries to make understanding eschatology easier by including a history of eschatological thought and by showing how eschatology fits into the overall biblical storyline and structure. And it shows the importance of eschatology theologically and the relevance of eschatology for practical life. However, the second edition: Corrects some typographical and other errors, correct links in the bibliography to sources that are available online, and tightens the writing throughout. - Fleshes out the discussion in certain areas, particularly in chapter 4 (Interpreting Biblical Eschatology in Light of its Overall Structure), chapter 5 (The Eschatological Significance of Christ's Second Coming), and Appendix 2 (The Millennium: An Amillennial Sy
