Leon Morris on Apocalyptic

The following book is now available on-line in PDF:

Leon Morris, Apocalyptic, 2nd edn. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans / Leicester: IVP, 1973. Pbk. ISBN: 0851113125. pp.128.

Thanks to the kind permission of the Leon & Mildred Morris Foundation I am pleased to be able to rescue this helpful little book from obscurity and make it available to a new generation of students. As Leon Morris writes in his preface:

This little book is not meant to be a profound or original contribution to a difficult subject. It is written out of two convictions: the one, that apocalyptic is an important part of the background of the New Testament, the other, that it is not well understood by the average student. Indeed, I fear that the average student would be hard put to it to give more than one or two characteristics of this kind of literature. I have written accordingly to help him get the picture. Recog­nizing that experts in apocalyptic differ widely among them­selves and that there are many points of uncertainty, I have tried to show what are the generally held opinions and what are the controverted areas. This then is simply an intro­duction to a very important but little understood part of the background of the New Testament.

Robert Gurney's response to Ernest Lucas

Ernest C. Lucas criticized Robert Gurney's interpretation of Daniel 11:40-45 in his commentary on Daniel (Apollos Old Testament Commentary 20, Inter-Varsity Press, Illinois), in 2002. Dr Gurney has responded to this criticism in his new edition of God in Control. His interpretation of Daniel 11:40-45, together with his response to the criticism, can be found in the latter part of Chapter 7, from page 8 onwards.
