| Summary: | This study examined the various views of Christian eschatology within Evangelicalism. Through a theological inquiry, the present research probed the divergent opinions on some itemized sub-events of Christian eschatology within Evangelicalism. These sub-events bothered on the death, the parousia, millennium, resurrection, judgment, and rapture. The study reveals that there is no general agreement on each of these sub-events of eschatology within Evangelicalism. Although the divergent opinions on each of these sub-events of Christian eschatology show the tolerance and flexibility of thoughts within Evangelicalism, the present study highlights the adverse effects such different views could bring. Accordingly, the present study calls for more unifying studies on the various sub-events of Christian eschatology within Evangelicalism. The success of these unifying studies will help sustain the high view of the centrality of the Christ-event (the parousia and its associated activities) within Evangelical eschatological considerations.Keywords: Evangelicalism, Christian eschatology, Parousia, Rapture, Judgment |
