5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Survey!, April 17, 2003

By 

Adam (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bible and Future Events, The (Paperback)

I would first like to say this is an excellent survey. I will give three reasons why it was helpful:

1. It is very well written.
2. Very informative and comprehensive.
3. Includes study questions.

1. IT IS VERY WELL WRITTEN

I've read alot of books; some being very dry, but this is not one of them. What I particularly enjoyed about this book is that it gave a survey of the end-times at a premillinial viewpoint RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. If you where like me and didn't know alot about the end times and got all confused about the sequence of events and terms this beginning chapter gives a survey of terms and events and then, in the proceeding chapters gives a more in-depth survey of the end time events.

2. VERY IMFORMATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE

While you read through the book and you're asking yourself different questions about the end-time events Wood anticipates them and addresses them. He doesn't assume that you already know something, he clarifies terms & events, and how it all fit's in to the over-all plan.

3. INCLUDES STUDY QUESTIONS

This was particularly helpful. The end of each chapter includes 19 study questions that add to the value of the book. The questions included are RELIVENT, and help you apprehend, understand, and remember the material.

CONCLUSION

This book does its job for giving an excellent, biblically accurate survey (among many other things) of end-time's events at a premillenial vantage point.

Excellent. All you wanted to know about future events in one compact book. Great details but also easy to ready and understand.

Disappointed that it all marked up and highlighted. I like to do my own.

I found this book at a Chirstian Bookstore for a special reduce price, but I think the content is priceless. This book is a very basic, and uncomplicated source for eschatology.
