The Promise Of His Coming: A Historical Interpretation And Revaluation Of The Idea Of The Second Advent (1921)

By Chester Charlton McCown

Book Overview

The Promise Of His Coming is a historical interpretation and revaluation of the idea of the Second Advent, written by Chester Charlton McCown and originally published in 1921. The book explores various interpretations of the Second Advent throughout history, including those of early Christians, the medieval church, and modern theologians. McCown also examines the social and political context in which these interpretations emerged, and argues that the idea of the Second Advent has been used to justify various forms of social and political action, from the Crusades to the abolition of slavery. Ultimately, McCown argues that the Second Advent is a powerful symbol of hope and renewal, and that its true meaning can only be understood in the context of the broader Christian tradition. The Promise Of His Coming is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of Christianity's most enduring and controversial beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
