(Podcast 1.20.21) Examining the Viewpoints of the End Times and Their History

By: Brian G. Chilton and Curtis Evelo | January 20, 2021

People are often engulfed by the numerous viewpoints concerning the end times. What are these different viewpoints and how did they come about? Today, our dynamic duo of Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo discuss the different viewpoints of the end times and their history. Join us for a compelling discussion of eschatology.

1. Define eschatology?
2. Could you explain the various eschatological viewpoints that Christians hold?

3. How will a clear eschatological understanding help in a gospel presentation?

4. Why such big words … ?

5. Is it important to understand these differences when having an evangelical conversation?

6. Where/when did the roots of these views begin?

7. What historical church denominations hold to what views?

8. If one holds a solid biblical hermeneutic process, how did we get such views?

9. Can holding to some of these views create a work-based theology (i.e., legalism)?
