One of the most important books to have emerged out of recent Protestant theology. Causing a considerable stir when it was first published in 1965, the book continues to represent one of the most complete and comprehensive statements yet proposed of the importance for theology of eschatology. 'May well prove to be one of the seminal works of our time.' New Christian 'Outstanding ... I doubt that any minister could read this book without having his horizons widened, his faith quickened and zest added to his preaching.' Baptist Times With a preface by Richard Bauckham
