Is there biblical evidence for a thousand-year earthly kingdom (the
Millennium) ruled by Christ before the fulfillment of the new
heaven and new earth? Revelation chapter 20 seems to suggest so,
but few books of the Bible are so difficult to interpret. And a
discussion of the Millennium branches out into many other
theological questions about the end times (eschatology): Are these
the last days? What must happen before Jesus returns? What part
does the church play? This Counterpoints volume compares three
views of the Millennium: Premillennial: Christ will come again
before this kingdom is established. Postmillennial: our present age
represents that kingdom and that the church is and must move toward
the fulfillment of this kingdom. Amillennial: a future Millennium
is not a literal kingdom, and when Christ returns, he will usher in
an immediate new heaven and new earth. Robert B. Strimple, Kenneth
L. Gentry Jr., and Craig A. Blaising offer their perspectives,
giving their exegetical reasoning. Each of them then responds to
the views held by their peers in a respectful and informative
setting, making it easy for you to compare their beliefs and gain a
better understanding of how this aspect of Christianity's great
hope--the return of Jesus--is understood by the church. The
Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
