Has anyone here read Last Things First by J. V. Fesko?
I completed it a week ago and there is much to commend (recommended read). However, I'm left scratching my head a bit...
Fesko seems to take his literary interpretation to lengths that would be dismissed as novel and fanciful if it were coming from someone outside the Reformed camp. Some of the conclusions (not all) seem to really stretch things. I understand that some great theologians have taught the same sorts of things so I am cautious with criticism. Has a critique been done of this work by a trusted scholar or expositor? Am I missing something?
