The Doctrine of Last Things Contained in the New Testament: Compared with the Notions of the Jews and the Statements of Church Creeds is a book written by Samuel Davidson and originally published in 1882. The book explores the concept of eschatology, or the study of the end times, as presented in the New Testament of the Bible. Davidson compares these teachings with the beliefs held by Jews at the time, as well as the statements of various church creeds. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of eschatology. Davidson examines the teachings of Jesus and the apostles regarding the end times, including the resurrection, judgment, and the afterlife. He also considers the various interpretations of these teachings that have been put forth by different Christian denominations throughout history. Throughout the book, Davidson emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context in which the New Testament was written in order to fully grasp its teachings on eschatology. He also argues that a careful study of the text itself is necessary to arrive at a clear understanding of what the Bible teaches about the end times. Overall, The Doctrine of Last Things Contained in the New Testament is a scholarly work that provides a detailed analysis of the New Testament's teachings on eschatology.
