The Case For Amillennialism - God Centered Recommendations

Hello there, and welcome back to God -Centered Theology. This is Andy Cain. I've got another God -Centered Recommendation for you.

Today it is The Case for Amillennialism, Understanding the

End Times by Ken Kim Riddlebarger. So a lot of words are hard to say there.

Amillennialism. You know, if your word is too hard to say, sorry Keith Foskey, I know Keith Foskey, I know you're the king of the amillennials, but if your word's too hard to say, when you need to find a way to shorten it,

I know they will say amill for short. So here it is, Case for Amillennialism.

Try saying that five times fast. Now I do not hold to this position, I did for a long time was in this position, and I'm still, eschatology is one area

I'm still working through very deeply and reading very wide and very deep. I've had discussions with a whole range of different thoughts and perspectives, but as far as the amillennial position, other than checking out our friend

Keith Foskey, who is the current king of the amillennials and learning from him, you could also check out this book,

The Case for Amillennialism. Hard word to say, but Kim does an excellent job.

He walks you through the text, everything from their basic understandings, how they handle each text, all of it discourse, and how they see the scope of history, redemptive history, and how it fits with all the key eschatological topics.

And so he says here, in a clear and accessible manner, Kim presents and defends amillennialism, the belief that the millennium is a present reality centered in Christ's heavenly reign, not a future hope of Christ's rule on earth after his return as the historic

Protestant understanding of the millennial age. Recognizing that eschatology, the study of future things, is a complicated and controversial subject,

I don't think it should be controversial, I think we just like the maturity to handle it well. But Riddlebarger begins with definitions of key terminology, so on and so forth, handles everything from Daniel 9,

Matthew 24, Romans 11, so on and so forth. So, again, this book comes very highly recommended,

I've enjoyed it, there's a good foreword in there by Michael Horton, and I enjoyed it, I thought it was a very good explanation of this view, and so that then you can compare and contrast with maybe your current view or maybe another view you are comparing it to.

So if you get a chance, pick it up and go through it, and see what you think. It may change your mind, it may not, but that's okay.
