Writings

Pentecost is possibly best known for his published writings, which are predominantly focused on issues of Christian living and the eschatological scriptures.

Pentecost takes a Premillennial and Pretribulational view of the unfulfilled prophetic passages of the apocalyptic biblical literature. He takes a Dispensationalist position, however his Things to Come (1958) is characterized by a comprehensive review of almost every view on the biblical prophetic subject matter that has any form of prominence.
