| Summary: | An introduction to apocalyptic thought -- The challenges - and opportunities - of apocalyptic preaching -- Daniel7:13, 15-18 -- Mark 13:24-37 (Year B, Advent, first Sunday in Advent) -- Matthew 24:36-44 (Year B, Advent, First Sunday of Advent) -- Luke 21:25-36 (Year C, Advent, First Sunday in Advent) --1 Corinthians 15:19-26 (Year C, Easter, Resurrection of the Lord) -- 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (Year A, Season after Pentecost, Proper 27 [32]) -- 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 (Year A, Season after Pentecost, Proper 28 [33]) -- Revelation 14:1-14 -- Revelation 21:1-6 (Year C, Easter, Fifth Sunday of Easter) -- Revelation21:10, 22-22:5 (Year C, Easter, Sixth Sunday of EAster) Apocalyptic texts are often seen as either frightening or irrelevant, a tool for fearmongering and manipulation or for the lucrative doomsday industry. But Apocalypse When?: Interpreting and Preaching Apocalyptic Texts equips readers to understand these texts as sources of encouragement and strength for the church. As the world faces threats of war, poverty, climate and environmental crises, and political upheaval, churches can draw on the wisdom and courage of our biblical ancestors who faced their own calamities and persecutions. Their struggles against powerful economic, militaristic, cultural, and social forces drew them closer to God. We have much to learn from their faith, ethical integrity, and dedication to the promises of God that engender hope in the midst of turmoil and terror. With solid historical exegesis, thought-provoking ideas for preaching, and examples of sermons that creatively and compellingly proclaim God's word, this book provides much-needed guidance for the church in tumultuous times |
