An impressive survey of beliefs from the early Church. Hill’s primary thrust in this publication of his dissertation is that the chiliasm of the early Church was inextricably intertwined with a view of the intermediate state in which the saints were not permitted entrance to heaven/Christ’s presence until after Christ’s continue reading…
Hendriksen does an excellent job presenting the Scriptural data on the questions he asks concerning the present & future expectation of Israel.
