About the author

No single intellectual voice contributed more to the development of modern biblical prophecy than Dr. John F. Walvoord. During his six-decade-long career as an author, pastor, teacher, and educator, Dr. Walvoord articulated a comprehensive view of biblical prophecy that was based on his rock-solid belief that all the prophecies in the Bible either have been, or will be, literally fulfilled.
Dr. Walvoord began his teaching career as a professor of theology at Dallas Theological Seminary in 1936. In 1952, after the death of Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, the seminary's founder and first president, Dr. Walvoord became president and built it into a formidable graduate school of theology. In 1986, after serving Dallas Theological Seminary for 50 years, Dr. Walvoord became chancellor.
From the beginning of his professional career, Dr. Walvoord spoke and wrote about biblical prophecy in light of current world events. Even before the world believed there could be a Jewish return to the Holy Land or a nation of Israel, Dr. Walvoord insisted that a new Jewish state would emerge and that no one, whether it be the British, the Palestinians, or the Arab nations, could stop this inevitable fulfillment of biblical prophecy.
Before the Arab-Israeli wars of the 1960s, Dr. Walvoord maintained that Israel would win more land and power. He saw God's plan for the end-time begin to unfold as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict became the focus of NATO and Western leaders. He taught that soon all the nations of the world would be embroiled in conflict leading to the events prophesied in the books of Daniel and Revelation.
Walvoord's studies led him to author, coauthor, or edit more than 50 books on Bible prophecy. One, "Armageddon, Oil, and the Middle East Crisis," became an international best seller in 1974. This work was later revised and expanded in 1990 during the Gulf War with Iraq. More than 2 million copies of this work are in print, and it has been translated into 10 languages. This work proved the value of biblical prophecy in explaining world events.
Dr. Walvoord believed that the events of September 11, 2001, were the opening salvo to acts of sacred terror in the name of jihad that would push the world to the brink of destruction. In addition, he sensed that weapons of mass destruction would proliferate and force the West into preemptive military strikes. The need for oil would require massive military intervention to protect the oil fields of the Middle East.
Viewing current events through the lens of biblical prophecy, he believed it was evident that soon--very soon--the world would be engulfed in a terror never before imagined. In 2002, he began working on a new book to help make sense out of the confusing events that filled the headlines. From that unfinished work--and his classic "Armageddon, Oil, and the Middle East Crisis"--comes "Armageddon, Oil, and Terror."

- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018Awesome book. Walvoord does a great job talking about the Holy Spirit and all the various doctrines. As a seminary student I recommend it. Easy to read and informative.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2014John F. Walvoord is one of my favorite theologians for a number of reasons, which are clear in this book on the Holy Spirit. His writing is lucid and concise, his presentation of the material is meticulous, and his Scriptural references are exhaustive. This book was adapted from his teaching notes on the Holy Spirit, and in about 260 pages there are over 1500 Bible citations. The table of contents is also in-depth, breaking down the chapters and subjects page by page for quick reference.
I have to mention that this book presents a cessationist position, that "miraculous gifts" of the Holy Spirit were limited to the time of the apostles. But even for those who may not agree with this, I still highly recommend this book for its comprehensive treatment on the Holy Spirit.
To conclude, this book is a go to resource on the Holy Spirit for anyone who wants to study the subject in depth, as this book essentially looks into every verse where the third member of the Trinity is mentioned.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021I am enjoying reading this book. It arrived as scheduled in pristine condition
- Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2014Very very interesting book. Not very easy to read, but it is packed with so many interesting and new(for me) evidences of the work of the Holy Spirit. It gives fresh and new perspective on the Holy Spirit as alive and working just as Father and Son, no more, no less.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018Great sound book. Some 4 point tendencies come out on issue of salvation, but otherwise very good.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018I'm part way through this book and already I Love it. A very detailed treatment of the subject of the third person of the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Well written, well researched, highly detailed, explains much more about the Holy Spirit than I ever thought possible. A must read for every Christian. Each one of us needs to know about this subject much more.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2019I am not enjoying this one but it has a reasonable price. I've only read parts of it arrived as promised in good condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars It opens my doubt on the spiritual gifts that people of today are claiming about!
I chose because it was recommended by our professor. Thank you so much for the book making available on line.
