Overview
Chester Charlton McCown explores two ideas in The Promise of His Coming. First, the obscure origin and the slow and uncertain development of the Hebrew, Jewish, and Christian hope of a better world are set forth. McCown indicates the sources of certain particular phases of the premillennial and postmillennial views. This historical survey secures the proper basis for the second idea—the attempt to indicate and reinterpret the fundamental social and religious values of the Christian hope of the second coming of Christ.

After a brief exhibition of the nature of the eschatological problem of today, the author devotes the larger part of the book to a critical history of apocalypticism and concludes with a positive, constructive discussion of the content of truth in the idea of the Second Advent.
