Electronic Set B

Plot

The early converts of the New Testament were instructed by the apostles to wait vigilantly for the second coming of Christ. Sadly, many of today's Christians have abandoned the task of preparing for Christ's return. In this book, Pink searches the Old and New Testament for information regarding Jesus' second coming. First, he looks at several examples of Biblical prophecies which foretell Christ's second coming. Then, he discusses the necessity of Jesus' return and explores signs leading up to His arrival. Pink closely examines Christ's first coming to gain a better understanding of the glory and power that will manifest itself in Christ's second coming. Finally, Pink discusses the events that will occur in the church and the world as a result of this momentous occasion. Redeemer's Return is designed mainly for those who are beginners in the study of prophetic and dispensational truth.

About the Author:
Arthur W. Pink was a Reformed Theologian. He was born in Nottingham, England on April 1, 1886, and became a Christian in his early 20's. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

Biographer Iain Murray observes of Pink, "the widespread circulation of his writings after his death made him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century." His writing sparked a revival of expository preaching and focused readers' hearts on biblical living.
