"Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again!" This foundational liturgical refrain reminds us that what God has already achieved in the past through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ is the foundation for what Scripture says he will do in the future, at the consummation of all things. In this booklet Sam Storms examines the essential elements of Christian eschatological hope--including bodily resurrection, judgment, hell and eternal punishment, and heaven in the presence of God.

Eine Geschichte, die Storm in späteren Lebensjahren keine Ruhe ließ, war eine fantastische Erzählung, die er 1938 im Danziger Dampfboot gelesen hatte. Der Legende nach war ein Deichgraf bei gefährlichem Eisgang in einem Dammbruch tödlich verunglückt und warnte seitdem als gespenstische Reiterfigur die Menschen der Region vor drohenden Gefahren. Der mystische Deichgraf wurde zur Inspiration für das Schicksal von Storms Protagonisten Hauke Haien in seinem Kampf gegen die Naturgewalten. Ein norddeutscher Klassiker - gelesen von Gert Westphal.
