An original harmony and exposition of the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew

An excellent book. The intent of the author is to examine the parallel accounts of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13, arrange them in harmony, and then address in particular the figurative interpretation that some scholars have given to it. The majority of these scholars (writing before Buck wrote his book in 1853) took the view that all was fulfilled during the time leading up to the Roman war and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The reader will gain much knowledge of the history of that war and at the same time gain valuable insight into the arguments for and against the figurative verses the literal interpretation of this prophetic discourse. -- Carol Morgan
