Redeemer’s Return, The

Arthur W Pink

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an itinerate pastor and Bible teacher who is known today for his theological and expository writings, which have gained greatly in circulation and esteem since his death. He was born in Scotland, but after 1910 he lived in the United States, studying briefly at the Moody Bible Institute and serving in several different pastorates. He spent three years in Australia during the 1920's, another year in England (1928), and seven more years in America, during which he preached and wrote without achieving obvious popular success. Most of his works were published as articles in the Bible exposition magazine Studies in the Scriptures, which he edited. He recognized the failures of his personal ministry, but also felt God's certain blessing upon his written ministry. He returned to Scotland in 1934, where he lived the rest of his life in virtual isolation.

A thorough discussion of the Second Coming, a topic which remains most provocative and controversial in the Church.

This treatise looks at the Second Coming, or Return of Christ, from the standpoint of Biblical prophecy and the fulfillment of the long-expected promise. Ten chapters, each discussing a single facet of the central belief, comprise this thorough eschatological work, the design of which is, according to the author, “mainly for those who are beginners in the study of prophetic and dispensational truth, though should it fall into the hands of those who are ‘looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ’ …we trust that it will afford meat in due season and stimulate praise to God for the marvelous and blessed prospect which His Word sets before us.”
