      May 20, 2019

      When professing Christians deny Biblical creation, we often point them to the Words of Jesus and the New Testament authors, which clearly affirm their own belief in Biblical creation. Because Christians are, by definition, people who believe what Jes

    • 4/5
      A very good and timely primer on the book of Revelation. Clear, concise, and accessible to the layman. Honest in presentation with the author's preferred theological perspectives stated in advance of his analysis and conclusions. A worthy read.
    • 3/5
      While this book effectively and rightly criticizes popular and pervasive distortions of Revelation, and while it does lay out many important tools for reading Revelation well, it fails to make a convincing case for a non-violent reading. As a result, the book carries on with this assumption throughout, leaving the reader to seemingly have to choose between two wrong ways of understanding the book.
