A Teacher's Guide to Understanding the End Times
Today, everybody seems to be fascinated with the end times. Scores of movies, books, and even mini-series revolve around an apocalyptic event where humanity is threatened, almost destroyed, or completely wiped out. Usually, through human ingenuity, the people of earth save themselves or rebuild at the end of the plot. But what does the Bible actually say about the end times? In A Teacher s Guide to Understanding the End Times, Samuel Powell reveals how to interpret the end times through history, theology, the Old and New Testament, current events, and interpretation guides. With this guide, learn how to apply Biblical texts to today.

About the author
Samuel M. Powell
18 books1 followerHere’s my official, academically heavy, biography–the sort of thing that publishers ask for.
Samuel M. Powell has taught at Point Loma Nazarene University since 1986. He is the editor (with Michael Lodahl) of Embodied Holiness (originally published by InterVarsity Press, 1999, now reprinted by Wipf & Stock), and the author of The Trinity in German Thought (Cambridge University Press, 2001), Participating in God (Fortress Press, 2003), A Theology of Christian Spirituality (Abingdon Press, 2005), Discovering Our Christian Faith (Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City, 2008), and several smaller monographs. He graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University, Nazarene Theological Seminary and Claremont Graduate University and is an ordained deacon in the Church of the Nazarene. He served as secretary-treasurer of the Wesleyan Theological Society and is a member of the editorial committee of Kingswood Press. From 1999 to 2001 he participated in the John Templeton Foundation Oxford Seminars on Science and Christianity. In 2005 he won the Wesleyan Theological Society’s Smith-Wynkoop award for his book, Participating In God: Creation and Trinity. The award recognizes recent publication of distinction in a research area related to the Wesleyan/Holiness tradition. Powell attends Mission Church of the Nazarene, where he teaches an adult Sunday School class. He lives in Santee, California with his wife, Terrie. He has two children and four grandchildren.
