While many theological commentaries have been written on the book of Revelation, this one has been written as an easy-to-understand commentary for those without a seminary education. It is not an in-depth theological treatise for the use of trained pastors. The author is a pastor who has spent more than twenty-five years studying and teaching the book of the Revelation in various conservative churches. It is unique in that it addresses the issues of the book of Revelation from what is known as the “realized millennial,” or what Dr. Jay E. Adams described as the “orthodox preterist” position.
This book was written to answer questions posed to the author by pastors in Russia and Eastern Africa during several trips to teach those pastors basic theology. It is written at a popular level rather than as a theological treatise. It is the hope and prayer of the author that the book will be used of God to educate and encourage many in the Christian world.
Is Calvinism Biblical? This question has been asked for centuries. Does God select those to be saved in some mysterious way or do we have some say in our ultimate destiny? How did sin enter the world? Is God responsible for sin or is the blame entirely on mankind?
These questions are discussed in detail with numerous Scriptural references on both sides of these issues. Dave Crenshaw, a Presbyterian minister, gives the arguments for Calvinism while Gordon Lunsford, a Church of Christ/Christian Church minister, presents the opposing view.
