Biblical Theology / Rapture, Resurrection Hope & New Creation
Rapture, Resurrection Hope & New Creation
Christ’s return, rapture interpretations, the intermediate state, bodily resurrection, and renewed creation.
The return of Messiah and the renewal of creation
Christian hope joins the return of Messiah, bodily resurrection, judgment, and the renewal of creation. These studies evaluate rapture timelines and millennial schemes, examine disputed passages, and consider personal identity between death and resurrection. They argue against reducing salvation to escape from the material world. Readers should distinguish the author’s preferred readings from the wider range of Christian interpretations and assess the historical and lexical arguments in their own contexts.
