From the Church Library:

A Book Review by Chris Trask

Ever since the ascension of Christ, Christians have been looking forward to the return of our Lord. Many of the apostles believed the second coming would take place in their lifetimes. We are now, here in the 21st century closer to Christ’s return than ever before. Most Evangelicals believe in the physical return of Christ and the establishment of the millennial kingdom, but there are numerous theories and beliefs surrounding this doctrine. In his “The Last Days Handbook” Robert P. Lightner, TH.D examines the major positions and differences among evangelical Christians concerning the second coming of Christ. Dr. Lightner gives a fair and unbiased overview of each major view, how the interpretation was arrived at and suggests additional sources of information for further research. He calls for a calm and reasoned debate of the issues while maintaining our focus on the true work of the believer.

A fairly easy read that will expose you to differing views and challenge you as to why you believe the way that you do regarding eschatology. This 200 page book is located in the 200’s.
