What is a twentieth-century Christian to believe concerning the return of Christ, and the last judgment? What is to be the end of history and of the human scene? All thinking Christians who desire to attain to a fully integrated faith must look eagerly towards any writings that offer help in these difficult themes. Dr. Glasson won the universal respect of scholars in his The Second Coming of Christ, and in this book he traces Christian thought and belief from the beginning up to the present day, and also expounds the tenets of the various Millenarian and Adventist movements. He writes for the general reader as well as for the student.
