It’s been mocking me on my bookshelf for months now. It’s not shelved away with the others. Oh no. It’s been on the top. Along with Future Grace, The Justification of God, Salvation to the Ends of the Earth, Basics for Biblical Hebrew, and Steven King’s Faithful—all books I need to read as soon as possible. I shelved away it’s cousin A Theology of the New Testament—at 700 pages too much for this year. It’s been sitting there collecting dust daring me to read it. Not any more. It’s time to get down and dirty with eschatology. No helmets. No pads. No flags. No two-hand touch. Just some full contact inaugurated eschatology. Yeah—it’s time to read some Ladd.
