The Promise Of His Coming: A Historical Interpretation And Revaluation Of The Idea Of The Second Advent (1921)

The Promise Of His Coming is a historical and theological analysis of the concept of the Second Advent, written by Chester Charlton McCown in 1921. The book examines the origins and development of the belief in Jesus Christ's return to Earth, as well as the various interpretations and controversies surrounding this idea throughout history.McCown argues that the Second Advent has been a central tenet of Christian theology since the earliest days of the faith, and that its significance has only grown over time. He explores the ways in which different denominations and theologians have understood and interpreted the concept, from the early Church Fathers to the Protestant Reformers to the modern era.The book also addresses the question of whether the Second Advent is a literal event or a metaphorical one, and examines the various arguments for and against each interpretation. McCown ultimately concludes that the Second Advent is both a historical and a spiritual reality, and that it represents the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan for humanity.Overall, The Promise Of His Coming is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most important and enduring ideas in Christian theology. It is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in understanding the historical and spiritual significance of the Second Advent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
