The Christian, according to the apostle Paul, lives between two
times. The end is already present with Christ's death and
resurrection, but the end is yet to come with his second appearing.
Pate traces the concept of 'already/not yet' back to its Jewish
roots and shows with exceptional clarity how Paul's teachings on
God, Christ, human beings, salvation, the Holy Spirit, the church
society, and the last things can be successfully placed within this
'already/not yet' framework.
The writings of John are some of the most foundational New
Testament documents for today's Christians. Most evangelical
teaching about the life of Jesus begins with the Gospel of John,
and Christian teaching on the end times relies heavily on the book
of Revelation. Students, pastors, and lay learners need solid,
up-to-date resources like this book to responsibly study and
understand John's writings. C. Marvin Pate addresses John's
writings according to their logical divisions: the Gospel of John,
the Johannine Epistles, and Revelation. Each section includes a
thorough introduction to relevant interpretive issues, including
historical background, cultural setting, and theological context.
Pate presents a two-fold historical setting for John's gospel,
encouraging readers to consider the text from the perspective of
Jesus' day and from John's situation in Asia Minor sixty years
later. He examines the Johannine epistles on issues like
authorship, audience, and theological perspective. For the
Apocalypse, Pate explores the challenges of John's first readers,
the nature of apocalyptic literature, and the Roman imperial cult,
including as well an explanation of how the church has interpreted
Revelation over the years. With its thorough discussion and
textbook design, The Writings of John sets the standard for
introductory texts on biblical books or collections.

Of all the books of the Bible, few are as fascinating or as
intimidating as Revelation. Four grim horsemen, the Antichrist, the
ten-horned beast, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, the "mark of
the beast." It's no wonder that these images have griped the
imagination of so many--and have been variously interpreted as
symbolizing everything from Hitler and Gorbachev to credit cards
and the Internet. Is the book of Revelation a blueprint for the
future? A book of powerful symbolic imagery with warnings for the
church? Is it essentially an imaginative depiction of historical
events in the first century? Four Views on the Book of Revelation
explores four interpretations of the book of the Apocalypse:
Preterist - a historical interpretation, arguing that most of
John's prophecies occurred in the first century, soon after his
writing of them. Idealist - a spiritual or symbolic interpretation,
arguing that the events in Revelation are not literal, and that
apocalyptic literature requires a different approach than the
Gospels or Epistles. Classical dispensationalism - a literal
interpretation based on a reading of Revelation that pays close
attention to the rules of grammar and the separate eras of
covenantal history. Progressive dispensationalism - a modification
of classical that has its root in the understanding of Christ's
reign beginning immediately after the resurrection. The
Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
