This issue of Pneumatikos features articles from affiliates of Chafer Theological Seminary and reviews material from several disciplines, contributed by reviewers with diverse backgrounds.

Andrew Woods, president of Chafer Theological Seminary, presents the second part of a two-part series on Jesus and the rapture. This article supports the claim that Jesus spoke of the rapture in John 14:1–4.

E Dane Rogers, a student at Chafer Seminary, has written an article defending the doctrine of eternal security in the Gospel of John in response to an influential work by J.C. Davis.

Paul Miles, editor-in-chief of Pneumatikos, explores the parables of the mustard seed and leaven and shows how these short sayings develop the postponement, not the inauguration, of the kingdom.

J. Morgan Arnold, another student at Chafer Seminary, evaluates the concept of the 15-minute city. Arnold brings functional, ethical, and biblical considerations into his analysis and concludes that this unsettling trend is built on a faulty worldview.
