"The most sweeping and comprehensive book on eschatology that I've ever encountered. The scope of this book is simply breathtaking." -Dr. Sam StormsFor the last 150 years the evangelical world has been embroiled in a Great Debate about eschatology, about the true biblical picture of God's ultimate purpose for the universe, life, and man.Much of the debate swirls around the Kingdom of God: What is its true nature? In how many stages does it enter history? How shall we interpret the Old Testament prophecies of the Kingdom-literally (in terms of Israel) or figuratively (in terms of the Church)?There is also controversy about the Consummation: Will our world get better and better, or worse and worse? Will Christ return once, twice, or even three times? When He does return, will it be before the millennium or after? How many resurrections should we expect? How many judgments? What will the universe be like when God finally creates the new heavens and the new earth?This book was written in the conviction that the High King of heaven has given his people certain master keys by which they may know the answers to these questions, and so be fully prepared for the awesome consummation of all things. In it, pastor and author Dean Davis seeks to place those keys in our hands, so that we may behold afresh the simplicity and glory of our Blessed Hope, and thereby resolve, once and for all, the Great End Time Debate.

Do you believe--or at least suspect--that there is a Supreme Being behind the cosmos? Would you like to know more about him? Do you want to understand how, when, and why he created the universe? Or what will become of it in ages to come? If so, In Search of the Beginning was written especially for you. In it, author Dean Davis invites seekers of cosmological truth on a fascinating journey to the origin of the universe, life, and man. Along the way, you'll consider how the journey can be made successfully--whether by scientific theorizing, mystical experience, or divine revelation. You will visit with philosophical naturalists, both ancient and modern. You'll hear from pantheists, both classical and evolutionary. But most importantly, you'll ponder afresh the cosmological views of one who is arguably the most trusted religious Teacher of all time. And you will not be disappointed with what he says. Throughout the journey, Davis shows himself a competent and compassionate guide. He holds degrees in both Philosophy and Theology, and has been an avid student of origins science for many years. Also, for four long years he made his own difficult pilgrimage toward spiritual reality--years that qualify him to speak with feeling and insight to seekers everywhere, especially those immersed in Eastern religions. In Search of the Beginning is unlike any book on cosmology you have ever read: informed, readable, spiritually minded, and at times even poetic. But more than this, it is a book that actually goessomewhere: to the beginning, and to the one who began it all!
