Publisher's Synopsis
This study identifies Lewis Sperry Chafer, evangelist, teacher, author and founder of one of the world's largest seminaries, as one who has greatly influenced recent controversies and scholarship concerning the Second Coming of Christ. The work portrays this important figure in the Evangelical movement as a forceful and creative theologian. Chafer gathered massive themes, materials and the collective dispensational, pre-millennial thought of the latter 19th century and the first half of the 20th century and interpreted evangelical theology in an inspirational manner.
