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.”

Cross Church: The Courage to Step Out

Pastor Jaime Loya was intent on spiritual truths becoming a reality in the lives of everyday people. Hearing a message on a Sunday morning is meaningless if that message is not lived out all week long.

Doing Life Together

The practice of “doing life together” can inspire people to endeavor great things and to live in ways that can transform individuals and culture.

Transformational Faith

Our faith is what forms the grid by which we understand and process reality. It is our main operating system; the means by which we approach everything else.
