Starting books about Eschatology

[GioD]

I've never really looked into Eschatology but want to, but I have no idea where to start. What are some good books for newbies on the issues involved with Eschatology?

If you don't mind shameless self-promotion, my commentary on Matthew 24 is presently freely available here

I am working with an editor though now, and when we are done, it will be removed from the site as it will be an actual book for sale, so get it while its free

A good starter- one I've constantly recommended- is Revelation: Four Views by Steve Gregg. It's a parallel commentary that takes a look at the four different interpretations of Revelation (Historicist, Futurist, Preterist, and Idealist). Of course, after reading that, there's always his Bibliography...

What I would suggest, is reading works from all the different positions.

For partial preterism you could try:

"Last Days Madness" by Gary DeMar
"An Eschatology of Victory" J. Marcellus Kik


For full(ish) preterism you could try:

"The Parousia" James Stuart Russell


For dispensationalism you could try:

"Things to Come: A Study in Biblical Eschatology" J. Dwight Pentecost


For amillennialism you could try:

"The Bible and the Future" Anthony A. Hoekema

Do you mind if I copy the text to my laptop. I won't be distributing it or anything, but since I have a hard time reading things that are very long, it would help if I could have the ability to look at it at any time.

[Dee Dee Warren]

Yes, please do. That is why I am letting everyone know, so that they can grab a copy before it is pulled offline. It will probably be a while, but just wanted to give a heads up.

Ok, thanks.

If you want to keep the links clickable, you would need to download several html files btw, and to keep it looking pretty, the css file as well.

Who's publishing it? And congrats, if it's affordable I'll probably just support you. Besides, paying is easier than downloading a bunch of stuff anyway .

[Dee Dee Warren]

Telug, self-publishing. As such it will definitely be affordable. On a different but related note, I think the grip of large publishers is coming to an end, which I don't see as a bad thing.
