The Second Coming, Hell, the Beast, Life after death: these are all themes that fascinate, and sometimes divide us. Beyond Hollywood productions, apocalyptic websites and a plethora of prophetic literature, what does the Bible really say about the end times? In their new book, 666 And All That, John Dickson and Greg Clarke provide a reality check on this hot and controversial topic.

'What we know of the future is not as complex as many people think,' says Greg. 'Obsession with eschatology (from the Greek word eschatos or last things) has divided Christian churches and occupied endless hours for many Christians.' By blending an exploration of the biblical material with discussion of eschatology in Christian and secular culture, Greg hopes that readers will be disturbed, comforted, humbled and (hopefully) thrilled about the future.

Both John and Greg maintain that keeping our eyes open to biblical literature will help steer us clear of falsely literal readings of symbolic passages or of trying to pin down imagery for clues about dates, times and the identity of the antichrist.

'Churches have managed to tie themselves in knots about questions such as the Antichrist, what happens after death and the battle of Armageddon', says Greg. 'In 666 And All That, we try to untie some of the knots and just chop off the other bits that are too tangled and weird to be part of genuine Christian faith.'

Straight-shooting and open in it's approach, 666 And All That, looks at what judgement will be like for Christians, and for those who have never heard the Gospel and busts many of the myths about God's promised future.

This easy-to-read book takes the reader on a journey towards understanding what God has promised about the future, and makes clear links with our daily lives here and now. In Greg's words, 'When Jesus said the kingdom of God was at hand, he meant it. We have tried to explain what a difference that belief makes not only for the future but also for the way we live right now.'
