IVP Academic, 2024
By John H. Walton

WHO: John H. Walton, professor emeritus of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Grad school. 

HE SAYS: “I contend that there is a ‘lost world’ connected with prophecy that needs to be recovered in order to guard against misunderstanding.” 

THE BIG IDEA: This book is a guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature.

THE PROGRESSION: In each of the 16 chapters or “Propositions,” the author explores an aspect of prophecy, prophets, the worlds they lived in, their audiences, their fulfillment, and their implications.

“Whatever authority the prophetic words held for the ancient audience they also hold for us.”
