4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful book on a complex subject, March 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 3 Crucial Questions About the Last Days (Paperback)

Albert Einstein once said that everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler. The problem with many popular works on the end times is that they try to oversimplify this complex subject. Mr. Lewis avoids this trap: this is not an easy subject and he has not written an easy book. Taking a thoughtful look at what the whole of Scripture says, he challenges many common assumptions and offers a perspective that many readers may be seeing for the first time. Refreshingly, he is willing to leave open the issues about which Scripture is unclear.

There are those who will not like this volume. Those who want prophecy condensed into a well-defined, neat little package, or who merely want support for the positions they already hold, or who are looking for the Christian equivalent of the horoscope column will be disappointed. The author doesn't claim to have all the answers, but he does have thoughtful and challenging answers to at least these three questions. I strongly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eschatology Student in Michigan, October 29, 2001

This review is from: 3 Crucial Questions About the Last Days (Paperback)

This book is excellent reading and is well-balanced! I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in end-time events from a scholarly point of view. There is no sensationalism here, just the facts, presented by one who has certainly done his homework, has taught the subject for many years at a respected Bible college in the Detroit area, and presents the various views on prophecy with dignity and respect. Further, the author has a pastor's heart (for he is one) and is able to take a calm look at the sign of the times and instruct us as to how we should then live.

This review is from: 3 Crucial Questions About the Last Days (Paperback)

Here is a gem of a book. This particular volume is great. The series it is in is helpful in addressing topics of interest around a cluster of three questions. This book by Lewis asks and answers the following: "Are We Living in the Last Days?" "Should Christians try to Predict Christ's Return?" and "What Must Christians Believe about the Last Days?" Here is a sound treatment grounded in a thoroughgoing biblical theology. Popular missteps are warned against and proposals that are Scripturally faithful are offered instead. A great book to shatter the popular dispensational agenda and aberrant practice of dating the end! Though the writer does not see some of the insights to be gained from a preterist approach, his strengths are in what he does do in balancing the scales in the world of prophetic predominance in hype. Highly recommended.
