Toward the end of his earthly ministry, Jesus predicted the destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. His shocked disciples asked when it would happen. Jesus’ response, a lengthy monologue about coming chaos and tribulation, forms the Olivet Discourse, an important and controversial text that has drawn intense interest from Christians through the centuries.

In this booklet from the Crucial Questions series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines the discourse to glean from it truths regarding who Jesus was, what He really meant, and what His words mean for us today.

As a gifted communicator, R.C. Sproul has helped many believers grow in their understanding of such matters as the nature of God, the history of redemption, and the manner in which we are saved. Now Dr. Sproul’s lucid teaching on these vital matters is available in a series of concise booklets that are perfect for personal learning and refreshing, as well as small-group study. For a quick introduction to matters at the very core of the Christian life, for yourself or a friend, consider the Crucial Questions booklets from Reformation Trust Publishing.
