As the new millennium begins, preachers are increasingly called upon to interpret the passages that talk about the end of the world. Larry Paul Jones and Jerry L. Sumney show how to preach the Bible's apocalyptic texts while avoiding the most common mistakes: using texts that are metaphorical too literally to predict political events and using texts that are communal too individualistically to describe the experience of faith. Chapters on key texts, including Daniel 7, Mark 13, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation 5 and 14, contain a brief exegesis, notes on particular features of the text, and sample sermons. "This primer for preachers uncovers the power and promise of some of the most perplexing texts in all the Bible. Here is an apocalyptic antidote for congregations beset with acute millennial fever or chronic sleepwalking through history." James F.
