Synopsis
On the threshold of the twenty-first century, Western society is obsessed with near-death experiences and questions about life after death. At the same time, the Christian church is challenged by a plethora of sermons, articles, and books on biblical prophecy, Armageddon, the millennium, the rapture, the second coming, and the final judgment. In the midst of this eschatological confusion, the theology of Herman Bavinck has made a timely appearance in English to offer sound exegetical guidance.
The Last Things wrestles through Scripture passages on death and the intermediate state, judgment, the identity of Israel, universalism, and the final renewal of all things. And, as the editor notes, though published one hundred years ago, this work "is biblically and confessionally faithful, pastorally sensitive, challenging, and still relevant."
The Last Things was originally the eschatological section of Bavinck's Gereformeerde Dogmatiek (Reformed Dogmatics). This first English translation was undertaken by the Dutch Reformed Translation Society. All four volumes of the dogmatic theology will eventually be published.
