Background

J. Dwight Pentecost (1915–2014) was a pastor, professor, and theologian best known for his influential teaching on Bible prophecy and dispensational theology. He served for more than six decades as a faculty member at Dallas Theological Seminary, where he trained generations of pastors, missionaries, and Bible teachers.

Pentecost authored numerous books, including the classic Things to Come, a comprehensive study of biblical prophecy that remains a standard reference for students of eschatology. His ministry combined academic scholarship with pastoral care, emphasizing the authority of Scripture and the hope of Christ’s return. Through his teaching, writing, and preaching, he left a lasting legacy in evangelical thought and prophecy studies.
