The End of the World as You Know It

The Bible was written for us, but not to us. We must bridge the gap between Scripture's ancient context and our own. Reading end-times texts in their ancient context helps us understand our present and future. And, when we do, we find that God's Word brings peace, not fear and confusion.
Jan Ross

The End of the World as You Know It

Matthew L. Halsted is associate professor of biblical studies at Eternity Bible College and is also the author of Paul and the Meaning of Scripture: A Philosophical-Hermeneutic Approach to Paul's Use of the Old Testament in Romans.
