Is Jesus Coming Soon?: A Catholic Perspective on the Second ComingIgnatius Press, 1997 - 178 sivua With millennial and eschatological speculation increasing, it is vitally important that Catholics be well grounded in what the Scriptures and the Church really teach about these important truths. Martin also makes abundantly clear that the truths about the Lord's return and the "last things" are intended to have a radical impact on our daily life and help us live in the joy, freedom and love of the Holy Spirit. Rather than be afraid as these "last things" draw closer, we are to look up in joy because the fullness of our redemption is drawing near! A book to help us navigate the confusion and opportunities of the years ahead with discernment and confidence. |
