J. Dwight Pentecost – författare

The life of Jesus Christ takes on fresh clarity and meaning in this masterful work by Dwight Pentecost.

The words, the miracles, and overarching message of the Messiah come alive in flowing and detailed chronology, set against the cultural, political, and religious setting of his day. The Words and Works of Jesus Christ will give you a new and deeply biblical understanding of:

Above all, you''ll acquire a deeper appreciation for the love that guided his path, beginning in a manger in Bethlehem, leading through three and a half years of ministry that ended abruptly at the cross on Golgotha, and blazing forth in eternal triumph at the resurrection.

Drawing liberally on the works of others who have written about Christ, such as Alfred Edersheim, J. W. Shepherd, W. Graham Scroggie, and Frederick Faraar; Dr. Pentecost reveals in his own writing a familiarity with the subject that comes from years of teaching. Yet he writes, not as one who knows all there is to know about Christ, but with the restraint of one who knows that Jesus is to be worshiped and adored as the great King, and that no book can do more than begin to tell all the wonders of his being and his love.

Journey with him on this study of the life of Christ.

Study the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus Christ in harmony—with all the relevant material from the Gospels placed side by side on the page and in chronological sequence.

The goal of this volume by author and teacher J. Dwight Pentecost is to help you know Jesus better by getting a clearer picture of him through the four Gospels—the books that directly depict his life, his ministry, and his heart. To show the harmony of the gospels, passages are arranged in parallel columns when more than one is cited so that you can easily see the accounts beside one another.  

This simple, logical presentation of the complete parallel text with the outline greatly simplifies your study of Christ''s life. A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ is ideal for use with its companion volume, The Words and Works of Jesus Christ, a comprehensive study of the life of Christ.

A Harmony of the Words and Works of Jesus Christ also makes an outstanding parallel Scripture text for any study of the gospels or the life of Christ.

All Scripture is in the New International Version (NIV).

A comprehensive and accessible study of eschatology for anyone interested in the important subject of biblical prophecy.

The Bible and its revelation about Jesus Christ''s return is the one source of hope and confidence for the future in these dark days. Approximately one-fourth of the Bible was prophetic at the time it was written, meaning that a greater body of Scripture is devoted to the unfolding of God''s plan than any other one subject. God, the architect of the ages, has seen fit to take us into His confidence concerning His great design.

But until Things To Come was published, the treatment of biblical prophecy had been mainly either apologetic or expository, with prophetic themes being developed individually, apart from their relation to the whole revealed prophetic program. This methodology produces fragmentary and unrelated knowledge of the subject.

In this monumental classic, Dr. Dwight Pentecost has synthesized the whole field of prophecy into a unified biblical doctrine, a systematic and complete biblical eschatology. He deftly handles many controversial topics, including a detailed presentation of premillennial eschatology.

With nearly a quarter of a million copies sold, Things to Come has earned its place in the library of the pastor, the scholar, and the seminarian or Bible institute student.
