""One cannot find today a more precise and brief discussion of all the major topics about what happens to a person at and following death. Glimpsing the Future is vintage Murray Harris, as it scans the ancient evidence, dips the Bible in that evidence, and comes out the other side with a marvelous hope for the future for all those who are in Christ. Pastors and lay leaders alike will find here the basics of what they need to know to teach the church and counsel those with questions about what happens when we die. There are no speculations here; what we get is unvarnished glimpses of what God has chosen to reveal to us."" --Scot McKnight, chair of New Testament, Northern Seminary ""Murray Harris reflects decades of thinking, teaching, and writing into this superb outline of personal eschatology. In his usual concise style, Harris packs an impressive array of exegetical and theological topics into a short compass."" --Douglas J. Moo, professor of biblical studies, emeritus, Wheaton College
