"The Kingdom of God is at Hand": Adventist Interpretations of Biblical Apocalypticism - Paperback

by Rolf J. Pöhler (Editor), Kerstin Maiwald (Editor)

"The Kingdom of God is at Hand" - Adventist Interpretations of Biblical Apocalypticism offers nineteen papers presented at the 4th International Symposium of the Institute of Adventist Studies at Friedensau Adventist University, Germany, April 26-29, 2021. The contributions represent current Adventist scholarship from four continents: Europe, North America, Africa, and Australia. Well versed in their fields and knowledgeable about their subjects, the authors are dealing with Christian apocalypticism from biblical, historical, theological, and practical perspectives. Originating from the 19th-century Millerite movement, Seventh-day Adventism is deeply affected by apocalyptic thinking. By looking at the Adventist faith tradition from a scholarly point of view, this volume hopes to contribute to an apt assessment of apocalyptic eschatology.
