The Missouri Baptist Convention, through its High Street Press imprint, has released a new resource for personal or group study titled, “What Every Christian Should Know about the Return of Jesus.”
The 500-page softcover book focuses on truths about Christ’s second coming plainly stated in Scripture. These truths, MBC leaders noted, are often overlooked when followers of Jesus prefer to debate the chronological minutiae of the last days.
While the order of events surrounding Christ’s return is of great interest to all followers of Jesus, and of equally great importance, “the devil is in the details of the second coming,” writes the book’s author, Rob Phillips, director of ministry support and apologetics for MBC.
Finding common ground
Put another way, Christians often devote so much attention to the details, they forget the many beliefs the body of Christ shares in common about the return of Jesus.
It’s that common ground Phillips seeks to regain in the book.
With the non-negotiables of Christ’s imminent return in view, Christians can be better equipped to share the good news that the returning Jesus came the first time to secure salvation.
Each of the 16 chapters ends with a summary of key points, along with questions for personal or group study.
The book is available in print and e-book from retailers like Amazon. An audio version is scheduled for release early next year.
