The second coming of Christ

---

Dispensationalists ought to read this Reformed pamphlet on the last things for three reasons. (1) The Subject, Jesus Christ, is artistically exalted in it. (2) They will find some holes in their position that they were not aware of, and be convinced of a little pride. (The Bible is frequently misunderstood because of a superficial reading of it.) (3) They will find their eschatological position summarized no less than four times, correctly and splendidly.

This book is a worthy little exposition of a cardinal doctrine. Even if it weren’t, Berkhof’s summaries alone would make the book worth keeping. He summarizes both dispensational and liberal eschatology, as well as the evolution of expectation among Jews for their Messiah in the inter-Testament period. The close of his summary on the paradox of living a redeemed life in the hope of having redemption fully applied serves as a humble reminder that any Christian may err on the details of Christ’s literal return. “We are saints and sinners at the same time” (p. 20.)
