Читать книгу Understanding the New Testament and the End Times, Second Edition - Rob Dalrymple - Страница 5

Sometimes a book just needs to go to print. Even before perfection arrives. I hope that you, the reader, will give me grace. For this book has indeed gone to print before perfection arrived. I know that I have omitted much. I know, also, that I have not been flawless in my communication of all that I am trying to convey. And for that I apologize.

I have at times engaged with some of the popular eschatological positions. I know for some of you that these viewpoints are held onto in earnest. I understand, for I too once held such views. I hope that I have adequately represented the popularist viewpoint. I have represented it as I have known it. I realize that this may not completely represent it as you have known it.

Please read with the grace that characterizes the body of Christ. I have done my best to write with such grace.

My primary interest is not to present a critique of the popular eschatology. Instead, I have aimed at providing a positive framework for understanding Scripture eschatologically. I believe that the Gospel of Christ is simply so much richer and more comprehensive than many have ever imagined. And it is the greatness of the biblical story that I hope you see as you read.
