"Filling a crucial gap, From Age to Age is simultaneously sweeping in its scope, deeply informed on the specifics, and so readable that I'll be recommending this as the book to give to any Christian who asks me for an overview of the Bible. If you read, meditate on, and inwardly digest From Age to Age, you will have a deeper, richer, and fresher appreciation of the greatest story ever told"
- Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California.
Although books on eschatology often focus on the second coming of Christ and the millennium, a complete study of biblical eschatology must include Christ's first advent, which inaugurated the last days. It must also include a study of God's preparations throughout redemptive history for the eschatological first advent of Christ.
From Age to Age looks not only at the consummation of God's redemptive-historical purposes at the end of history, but also at their unfolding stages. Using the narrative method of biblical theology, Mathison traces the eschatological themes of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, emphasizing how each book of the Bible develops these themes, which culminate in the coming Christ.

"Meticulously comprehensive, this veritable compendium of biblical theology from Genesis to Revelation examines every possible nuance of eschatologial insight. Mathison has provided us with an invaluable reference tool, a tour de force unlike any other on this hugely significant topic."
- Derek W.H. Thomas, John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Practical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, MS
"A survey of the Bible that does not lose the forest for the trees. On the one hand, Mathison analyzes each book with careful attention to exegetical and critical issue. On the other hand, he identifies the entire canon's contribution to the grand biblical theme of promise and fulfillment. I do not know of a more accessible and up-to-date introduction to the Bible from a Reformed perspective."
- John Muether, Librarian and Associate Professor of Church History, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL
