, 1859

Overview

In 1859, Joseph F. Berg delivered a course of lectures on eschatology to the Second Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Philadelphia. These discourses, collected in The Second Advent of Jesus Christ Not Premillennial, argue against the premillennial return based on “the inconsistency which that theory involves with the established truths of the Gospel.” He begins his study of the Second Coming with an examination of Acts 1:11, broadening his argument over 11 thoughtful discourses.
