Second Thoughts about the Second Coming -- a Conversation
Episode 148: Second Thoughts on the Second Coming with Robert Cornwall
Ron Allen and I had the privilege of writing a book about Eschatology---that is, last things. That theological term includes a variety of concerns, but let's just say it has to do with the future. We titled the book: Second Thoughts about the Second Coming: Understanding the End Times, our Future, and Christian Hope. The book was published by Westminster John Knox Press. Ron and I hope that the book will prove valuable to the church, especially fellow Mainline Protestants who wonder about the future.
I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with my friend and my Disciples of Christ colleague Pastor Dennis Sanders about the book and the larger topic of end times. If you click on the link above you can find the podcast. You can also click here to go to the episode page.
Dennis writes this in his show notes about the topic and interview:
The Second Coming. Armageddon. The End Times. Since its beginning at Pentecost, Christians have long wondered if and when Christ would return as promised in the Bible. Books and movies have all wondered: when is Jesus coming back?
But what are Christians to think about all of this, especially Mainline Protestants? Some are dismissive, but many people just have nothing to say.
In this episode, I chat with Pastor Robert Cornwall, who along with theologian Ronald Allen wrote Second Thoughts About the Second Coming: Understanding the End Times, Our Future and Christian Hope. We talk about why it matters that Christians think about the End and what all of this means for our own faith.
