Book excerpt: The events of September 11, 2001, shook the United States to its very core. No words could adequately describe the horror felt around the world. This immense catastrophe has caused many to desire a deeper understanding of how biblical prophecy relates to today's culture. In November, 2001, a conference was held on the campus of Moody Bible Institute called Prophecy in Light of Today. This book is born out of that conference, featuring outstanding teachers such as Dr. Mark Bailey, Dr. Michael Rydelnik, and Dr. Erwin Lutzer.
