Why I Preach the Second Coming
"Why I Preach the Second Coming" by Isaac Massey Haldeman is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work serves to articulate and defend the doctrine of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, emphasizing its significance in Christian theology and its foundational role in the faith. Haldeman presents a variety of biblical references and theological reasoning to assert that this event is central to themes of redemption and eternal life, affecting both individual believers and the entire Church. The opening of the text establishes the basis for Haldeman's address, delivered at the World's Conference on Christian Fundamentals in 1919, introducing key reasons for preaching about the Second Coming of Christ. He highlights its frequent mention in scripture, its interconnection with fundamental Christian doctrines, and its implications for both personal faith and the collective mission of the Church. Additionally, he outlines a historical and prophetic framework by referencing figures like Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, illustrating how their narratives foreshadow the ultimate fulfillment of promises tied to Christ’s return. Haldeman's rhetoric seeks to not only inform but also inspire vigilance among Christians regarding this pivotal event, emphasizing the hope and urgency it carries for the faithful.
Christ, Christianity and the Bible
"Christ, Christianity and the Bible" by Isaac Massey Haldeman is a theological discourse written in the early 20th century. The work explores the nature of Christ, the foundations of Christianity, and the significance of the Bible from a Christian perspective. Haldeman emphasizes the divinity of Jesus Christ, arguing that his goodness is directly tied to his identity as God, and sets the stage for a discourse on the implications of this belief for Christian doctrine and practice. The opening of the work introduces the author's examination of Jesus Christ, detailing his compassion, benevolence, and the challenges he posed to the religious authorities of his time. Haldeman begins with a reflection on Christ's goodness, contrasting it with the view that Jesus could be perceived merely as a good man without acknowledging his divine nature. He argues that if Christ were not God, then he could not be truly good. The text sets out to affirm that understanding the character and claims of Jesus is essential for grasping the full meaning of Christianity, thereby establishing a critical foundation for the discussions that follow in the book.
