Book Review: The End: A Complete Overview of Bible Prophecy and the End of Days
I was somewhat excited when reading Hitchcock's introduction to his book in which he admits he would like this book to become the successor to J. Dwight Pentecost's classic
Things to Come. So, I was hoping Hitchcock's would be a worthy replacement. Of course, I was expecting scholarly treatment of most eschatological issues. I was dissapointed because
The End is really not a the level of Pentecost's treatment of pro and con views on various prophetic positions. Do not get me wrong, however. I read almost everything Hitchcock writes on the subject and he is a good author on eschatology.
The End is written at the popular level and most Christians would benefit from reading it. For those that know about Bible prophecy this book will not cut it. This one is not Hitchcock's
magnum opus, yet. An overview, it is. Complete, it is not. In no way could a prophecy student do without getting the older classic by Pentecost or even Walvoord's
Every Prophecy of the Bible.
Hitchcock would do well to update Pentecost's
Things to Come for a new generation as he has done with some of Walvoord's classics.
Disclosure: The book was
received for free from Tyndale House Publishers.
The program does not require a positive review, only an honest one.
