Misplaced Hope
by Samuel M. Frost

Sub-titled, "The Origins of First and Second Century Eschatology." Historically the Christian faith has believed that Jesus will return again one day, visibly in the sky. However, several centuries of Bible scholarship have been pointing out glaring problems with this premise. Casting caution aside, entire movements have been founded upon millenarian expectation, and dates keep being set. Could the confessing Church be wrong? Could it have misread its roots? How did the church understand its eschatology after the fall of Jerusalem? Misplaced Hope takes you back to the first two centuries of church history (A.D. 70 - 200) to find the answers.
