Teaching the Christian Hope cover

This insightful book explores eschatology, providing clarity on Christian hope and equipping teachers to convey these important truths effectively.

In a world often overshadowed by despair, Teaching the Christian Hope presents a beacon of clarity and purpose for those seeking to understand the future through a biblical lens. This book addresses the pervasive sense of hopelessness in contemporary culture, where individuals often chase fleeting pleasures without deeper meaning. It invites readers, particularly Bible teachers, to explore what the church can offer in terms of hope and direction regarding the 'End Times'.

The author delves into six major themes related to Christian eschatology, using key scriptural passages to illuminate each topic. Each chapter is thoughtfully structured, allowing readers to grasp complex theological concepts with ease. By breaking down the content into 'teachable' sections, the book ensures that educators can convey these vital truths effectively to their audiences. This approach not only enriches the reader's understanding but also equips them to share these insights with others in a meaningful way.

Teaching the Christian Hope stands out for its commitment to truth and practicality, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in biblical teachings about the future. The book emphasizes that understanding what lies ahead can foster a sense of hope, encouraging readers to face the future with confidence. Ultimately, it seeks to provide answers to pressing questions about eschatology while inspiring a renewed sense of purpose in the Christian faith.

The task of moving from the text of Scripture to clear and faithful exposition is challenging. This series of excellent guides aims to help the Bible teacher to observe what is there in the text, and prepare to convey its significance to contemporary hearers. In this way these volumes often do more than the weightier technical commentaries. It is like having the guidance of an experienced coach in the wonderful work of rightly handling the word of truth.

North India desperately needs men and women who will preach and teach the Bible faithfully and PT's Teaching series is of great value in encouraging them to do just that.

-- Isaac Shaw (Executive Director, Delhi Bible Institute, New Delhi, India)

The Teaching series is a great resource for Bible study leaders and pastors, indeed for any Christian who wants to understand their Bible better.

-- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)

The need of the hour is Bible knowledge. When knowledge fails, faith fails, and we are shaped instead by cultural forces alien to God. This teaching series, written by skilled and trustworthy students of God's word, helps us to understand the Bible, believe it and obey it. I commend it to all Bible readers, but especially those whose task it is to teach the inspired word of God.
