AD 70 And The End Of The World by Paul Ellis

The subtitle reads Finding Good News In Christ’s Prophecies And Parables of Judgment

Ellis explains why he wrote this book, it is because “fear-based eschatology is dangerous.”

The first half of the book examines Matthew 24 known as the Olivet Discourse taking the prospective that this chapter is fulfilled historically in the events surrounding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

The second half of the book deals with the parables and prophecies of judgment regarding the end times. The author takes a grace-based view of Christ’s parables and prophecies of judgment.

This is a book that everyone should read regardless of your eschatological view point.
