Review Quotes:
"Markus Mühling's excellent textbook offers a systematic introduction to eschatology ... [taking] the reader through the scriptural, doctrinal, and historical interpretations of the Parousia. Mühling has executed his subject with brevity and brilliance. For anyone teaching this subject, or simply trying to prepare for some Advent sermons, the book offers a masterclass in clarity, cutting through the complexity of the "end times", and enabling the reader to grasp the essentials." --The Church Times
"Thorough in its coverage and systematic in its approach. Referencing is comprehensive and the indexes are detailed ... The text is easy to read and there are numerous highlighted summary paragraphs so you could skip a section and still keep up with the argument." --The Reader "Learned, thorough, and engaged, this is theology of a high order, which will provoke thought." --John Webster, University of St Andrews, UK "A wide-ranging and very systematized plunge into the deepest questions of theology. Read it." --Robert W. Jenson, Professor Em. of St Olaf College, USA
