Most Christians think of eschatology as a study of the future--the events of Revelation, the return of Christ, and the end times. But this approach isolates the last things from the larger story that gives them meaning. In \u003ci\u003eThe Genesis of the End Times\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Halsted argues that the seeds of New Testament eschatology were planted in the earliest narratives of Genesis, long before John's Revelation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy tracing key stories through the complete biblical narrative, Halsted reveals how the human predicament described in Scripture's opening chapters shapes everything that follows: the nature of sin as an individual, communal, and systemic reality, the redemptive work of Christ, and the eschatological hope that encompasses the whole story of humanity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReaders will come away from this book with an understanding of the end times that begins in Genesis and finds its ultimate purpose in the Christ who was, who is, and who is to come.","brand":"Matthew L.
