What did the earliest Christians believe about prophecy, judgment, and salvation?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eESSAYS IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY\u003c\/i\u003e, Jonathan Ramachandran explores ancient theological possibilities grounded in Scripture and the writings of the earliest Church Fathers. With careful adherence to the historical-grammatical method and a commitment to literal biblical interpretation, Ramachandran revisits the long-forgotten Chiliasm model-a belief in the literal thousand-year reign of Christ on earth-as taught by voices like Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Papias.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume offers bold insights into the prospect of \u003cb\u003eNon-Elect Salvation\u003c\/b\u003e-the idea that some may be saved outside the elect Bride of Christ, not through presumption, but through divine mercy and postmortem judgment. Through in-depth analysis of Scripture and early Christian testimony, Ramachandran raises provocative questions: Are there two distinct resurrections separated by 1,000 years? Do Revelation and 1 Corinthians 15 describe gradations of resurrection glory? Could the \"surprised sheep\" of Matthew 25 represent non-elect salvation?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for pastors, seminary students, and thoughtful churchgoers, this accessible yet rigorous work is not speculative theology but evidence-driven inquiry. Readers are invited to examine early Christian prophecy with open Bibles and discerning minds-testing all things and holding fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Ramachandran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949586421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949586428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Jonathan Ramachandran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437505491199,"sku":"9781949586428","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0c0ffcf-6689-44bc-a6a9-4abb238e8d0f.jpg?v=1777162271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/essays-in-early-christianity-jonathan-ramachandran-9781949586428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
