At the Table of What Is Coming

What does the Bible actually say about what comes next?
Five voices. One table. No easy answers.

In At the Table of the What Is Coming, four of the most consequential eschatological positions in Christian history sit across from each other and make their strongest possible cases - pressed by Socrates until every argument has given its best and received the best the others can offer.

W. A. Criswell brings fifty years of pulpit fire and dispensational precision. Anthony Hoekema brings the careful theological depth of the Reformed Amillennial tradition. Jonathan Edwards brings the sweep of a man who believed the gospel would triumph across history before Christ returned. And Christian - a pastor of more than thirty-five years - brings the weight of standing at bedsides and gravesides where the answers mattered more than the arguments.

Together they press through the millennium, the rapture, the tribulation, the Great White Throne, the lake of fire, and the outer darkness. They ask whether the world is gaining ground or losing it - and whether what we say we believe actually fits how we live. They do not all agree. They were not designed to. But every position receives its most honest hearing, its hardest questions, and its most careful defense.

This is not a book that resolves the debate. It is a book that equips you to think through it - and that ends where every honest treatment of eschatology must end.

With the cup still on the table.
