The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers: New World recovery and consummation of prophetic interpretation


Book Description

The four volumes comprising this extensive work, which covers the Christian Era, are the result of sixteen years of extensive research in Europe as well as in America. The result of this persistent quest, including some three extensive trips to Europe, has been the assemblage of thousands of source documents now comprising the unique Advent Source Collection. This, in turn, forms the documentary basis for these volumes, which are here presented to the Christian church at large as a contribution to the sound and scientific study of the development of prophetic interpretation--jacket.










The Stand


Book Description

Scott Burgess has crafted a most intriguing commentary on Revelation's Old Testament counterpart. Readers will treasure The Stand: Jesus in the Book of Daniel for its educational and devotional value. It not only aids in deciphering mysteries and symbols but also encourages and promotes complete dedication to our Lord and Savior as it highlights the central theme of standing unsullied in the end-time judgment. The author upholds the traditional Adventist methodology of allowing Scripture to interpret itself, and looking to history to confirm fulfilled prophecy. With that said, he also introduces a number of fresh insights. He highlights fascinating linguistic and conceptual connections with other portions of Scripture that many of us have not identified before. Those who pore over this tome will find a number of areas they readily agree with, and other areas that will require prayerful reflection before forming a decision, but nearly all will acknowledge Burgess' skillful manner of provoking prayerful thought and contemplation. What makes any book like this truly worthwhile is the presence of Christ. Burgess stresses the ubiquity of His manifestation throughout the book—as the One who rules the universe, past, present, and future; and as the One who empowers His people to withstand the fiercest opposition for the sake of faithfulness to Him and His commandments. Jesus offers the same empowerment to us, especially as imminent events parallel what the four Hebrews experienced. This 2,500-plus-year-old document speaks to us today.













Joachim of Fiore and the Myth of the Eternal Evangel in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries


Book Description

This renowned study provides a `map' of the influence of the powerful, original theology of Joachim of Fiore (c.1132-1202). Radically revised since its first publication in 1987, and augmented with further prophetic voices and symbols from the past, it confirms the deep structures of visions of the future while demonstrating and questioning the persistence of Joachimist themes in the twentieth-century fin de siecle.
