What to Think When the World Doesn't End

About this book

What does the Bible actually say about the apocalypse?

Every time we turn around someone is predicting the end of the world. Whether it's the Maya calendar, predictions from modern religious sects, or someone armed with a computer program and a Bible, we constantly face cries of cataclysm that keep turning out to be false.

This book takes an engaging look at what the Bible says about prophecy and examines instances of people predicting an end of the world that didn't come to pass. It's here to help you understand:

The history and sources of apocalyptic literature.
Specific examples and explanations of ancient apocalyptic texts, both from Scripture (Revelation, Daniel) and non-biblical (the book of Enoch).
Why these primary texts are so frequently misinterpreted and how we should think about them now.
Tips for wading through contemporary predictions about the end of the world.

Guesses, Goofs and Prophetic Failures will help you see through the media hype and false prophecies of apocalypse so that you know how to respond the next time someone cries wolf. Perfect for anyone of faith who’s heard—and been confused by—conflicting stories about the end of the world and its details.
