About Apocalypse Later

The sting of deadly conflict is felt everywhere in our world. These conflicts breed sorrow that come from the loss of loved ones and cherished homelands. Those embroiled and victimized by conflict cry out for justice in what seems to be an unjust situation. And the cry and innate need to feel loved is felt most strongly when bloody conflict seems to show us a world without love. Perhaps no confict in the world has a stronger sting and wider implications than the Middle East conflict. Its effects are felt not only in the Middle East, but in every country around the world. Everywhere, Muslims and Jews cry out in sorrow, demand justice, and long to know that they are loved by God.

But Evangelicals, especially in the West, have used the ongoing Middle East as fodder for debates over how to interpret prophecy, instead of seeing it as the human tragedy that it is. In Apocalypse Later - Why the Gospel of Peace Must Trump the Politics of Prophecy in the Middle East, Christian and former Muslim Abdu Murray urges Christians concerned about the Middle East conflict to change their primary focus from eschatology to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In Apocalypse Later, Abdu demonstrates that only the gospel profoundely addresses and satisfies the issues of sorrow, justice, and love that stalk the hearts and minds of Muslims and Jews the world over. Any reader, whether Christian or non-Christian, who searches for a way to better our world by addressing the deep issues of conflict, will benefit from the message in these pages.
