Parousia
What’s in a Name?

The term “parousia” is the Greek term behind many of the references to the Coming of Christ in our English Bibles. It is one of the most important terms in eschatology. It is a rich term and has nuance depending how an author used it. Charles Cooper devoted a chapter to its usage in his most recent book, God’s Elect and the Great Tribulation.
And I would like to refer you to the inaugural issue of the Parousia Newsletter titled “What’s in a Name?” which discusses this all-important term. You can download the backissue here. To be able to read the newsletter you need the Adobe Reader which you can download here if you do not already have it.
