Glimpsing the Future: New Testament Perspectives on Death, Resurrection, Immortality, Eternity, and the Afterlife
Ebook
What happened when Jesus, Peter, and Paul had firsthand encounters with death? Should we welcome death as a friend or fear it as an enemy? Is there any satisfactory answer to all the powerful objections to the reality of Jesus' resurrection? What is Paul's view of the resurrection body? Are all humans immortal or is this a privilege reserved for the few? Who wins in the Plato-versus-Paul debate about immortality? How should we view eternity and Hades? What happens to atheists when they die? And apart from guesswork, what is the real nature of heaven? All these crucial questions and many more are addressed in this concise and comprehensive treatment of the New Testament's answers.
“One cannot find today a more precise and brief discussion of all the major topics about what happens to a person at and following death. Glimpsing the Future is vintage Murray Harris, as it scans the ancient evidence, dips the Bible in that evidence, and comes out the other side with a marvelous hope for the future for all those who are in Christ. Pastors and lay leaders alike will find here the basics of what they need to know to teach the church and counsel those with questions about what happens when we die. There are no speculations here; what we get is unvarnished glimpses of what God has chosen to reveal to us.”
—Scot McKnight, chair of New Testament, Northern Seminary
“Murray Harris reflects decades of thinking, teaching, and writing into this superb outline of personal eschatology. In his usual concise style, Harris packs an impressive array of exegetical and theological topics into a short compass.”
—Douglas J. Moo, professor of biblical studies, emeritus, Wheaton College
