Synopsis:
When will Christ return? This question was asked by Christ's disciples before his crucifixion, and it is still asked today. In this important but neglected nineteenth-century classic, now back in print, J. Stuart Russell offers a viewpoint few today have heard. A new foreword by R. C. Sproul has been added. Russell contends that Christ's parousia (second coming) was "the nucleus and center of a cluster of great events," including the close of the Jewish economy, the judgment of Israel, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the resurrection of the dead. He concludes that the parousia took place, as Christ predicted, later in the first century when Jerusalem was destroyed.
About the Author: J. Stuart Russell (1816-1895) was a congregational pastor in England, the first chairman of the Congregational Total Abstinence Association, and an author. He was present at the founding of the Evangelical Alliance.
