Jesus Christ is coming again! That is the Blessed Hope which has
since the earliest days of the church energized biblical Christians
looking for the full revelation of God's redemption But even among
those who have most devoutly looked forward to the second coming of
the Lord there have often been disputes about its nature. At their
sharpest, these disputes can lead to the breakdown of fellowship
among those who should be standing firmly together against
unbelief. Through its many printings, this book by George Eldon
Ladd has proved to be a helpful guide for Christians who want to
discern clearly the basic biblical teachings about the Blessed
Hope. Writing not for his fellow scholars as much as men and women
in the pews, Ladd, whose numerous studies of New Testament
interpretation earned him the reputation of being one of
contemporary evangelicalism's leading thinkers, sketches the
history of interpretations of Christ's second coming and then
carefully and lucidly examines the biblical passages on which this
doctrine is based. Ladd's conclusion is that the blessed hope is
the second coming of Jesus Christ, not a pretribulation rapture of
believers in a secret coming of Jesus. Yet he concludes, too, that
there should be liberty and charity within the Christian community
for all who hold to the expectation of -the blessed hope and
appearing in glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.-
