A careful historical and exegetical study of the Beast of Revelation as found in the Book of Revelation. It identifies the Beast as the Roman emperor Nero Caesar, the first persecutor of the Christian church in AD 64. The book also delves into the question of the date of the writing of Revelation, arguing that it was written by John the Apostle around AD 65 or 66.

A new and growing aberration in evangelical prophecy circles is the view that the Second Coming of Christ occurred at the destruction of the Jewish Temple in AD 70. Many Christians are being confused because of the similar language used in Scripture to refer to Jesus's return at the end of history which also applies to the temple's destruction. This new movement has developed a cult-like zeal and is causing trouble in many local churches and confusion among numerous Christians. This book demonstrates the error of the "Hyper-preterist" viewpoint. This error teaches that: (1) Christ returned at the judgment of the temple; (2) the resurrection occurred at that time (and there is no future bodily resurrection); (3) that AD 70 was the Final Judgment spoken of by Christ and the Apostles; and (4) that history will never end.

Engages a careful lexical, exegetical and theological examination of the Bible on the question of the Christian use of alcoholic beverages. It demonstrates that the wine was alcoholic and that the Bible allows a moderate, circumspect use of alcoholic beverages.

The charismatic movement is a major force in evangelicalism. Tongues-speaking is perhaps its most recognizable and controversial feature. In this book Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., analyzes biblical tongues-speaking by investigating four questions: (1) What was the structural form of tongues? (2) What was the specific content of tongues? (3) What was the purpose of tongues? (4) How long were tongues intended to last? The author demonstrates from Scripture that tongues were a miraculous endowment whereby the gifted recipient could speak in a human language he had never studied and that they involved inspired revelation from God. He shows that tongues were given as a temporary feature of the period of overlap between the old covenant and the new covenant and that they were a sign of the coming destruction of the old covenant temple in Jerusalem. Tongues were intended only for that first century period.

Shows that the Great Commission establishes a Christian worldview and positive outworking of history.

In-depth exegetical studies of five key biblical prophecy passages: Daniel's Seventy Weeks (Dan 9: 24-27); Jesus' Olivet Discourse (Matt 24:1-36); Paul's Man of Sin (2 Thess. 2:1-10); Revelation's the Beast (Rev. 13); and Revelation's Babylonian Harlot (Rev. 17). In these studies the author shows that each of these prophecies were fulfilled in the first century and were closely linked to the destruction of the Jewish temple in AD 70. The presentations are thoroughly evangelical and rigorously biblical.

This work defends the continuation of God's Law in the new covenant economy. It defends Theonomic ("God's Law") ethics over against Intrusion Ethics (associated with Meredith Kline). It particularly responds to Dr. T. David Goron's philosophical, exegetical, and theological objections to theonomy. It shows not only that Theonomic Ethics is within the mainstream of Reformed, confessional theology, but is also firmly rooted in the covenantal Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.

This work analyzes charismatic claims to continuing prophetic revelation today by considering key charismatic texts in the New Testament. Gentry shows by careful analysis of charismatic arguments that the gift of prophecy in the Apostolic church involved inspired revelation and that the gift ceased with the closing of the canon.

Four Views on the Book of Revelation are presented, critiqued, and defended: preterist, idealist, and the classical dispensationalist and progressive dispensationalist forms of the futurist approach.
