MacLeod's treatment of the biblical text shows that he is not only an experienced expositor of the original text of Scripture but also an exceptionally gifted writer on biblical themes. The book is easy to read, extremely interesting, and filled with many rich quotations and insightful doctrinal observations. Best of all, it is a model for good traditional Bible exposition.

A forthright defense of historical premillennialism that avoids sectarian name-calling and keeps the dialogue open with those who arrive at different conclusions.
