The author is clear about his view, but presents the other views (in their basic form) scholastically and without a noticeable amount of partiality. Most books concerning end times are written as an apology or in persuasive style, but this one is nearly textbook style and very informative. No matter what your position on the subject, you will have a better understanding of the other views.

Dr. Jerry Newcombe, co-author of "George Washington's Sacred Fire" and long-time researcher for Dr. D. James Kennedy, nails down the tricky topic of eschatology in this fascinating book. Without judgement, he lays down the major Christian viewpoints and meticulously backs his writing with quote after quote from theologians and authors ranging from Hal Lindsay to R.C. Sproul. Postmillenialism, Amillenialism, Premillenialism, Chiliasm, Preterism... all are covered and defended by their proponents.

If you're the typical "Left Behind" believer, some of the alternative viewpoints may shock you. As we near 2012, "Coming Again" is hard to beat as an end-of-the-world read - I've enjoyed revisiting my copy.
