    This book is a challenge to read but I believe that we should read things that stimulate our minds. I am enjoying this book and I recommend it to all Christians. I am reading it slow and taking notes, so I can absorb it all. Books about God should be read slow, so we can ponder each and every word and grasp the True meaning of what is being taught to us.

  • This book was way over my head when I started it. I read it like I would a text book. There was so much to think on. First I read it through to get an overview of the book.

    This book was way over my head when I started it. I read it like I would a text book. There was so much to think on. First I read it through to get an overview of the book. I then went back and studied it more closely. I think, Riddlebarger gives great supporting arguments for his views. I am happy to have spent so much time with it. I will definetely reread it until it becomes part of me.

Amillennialism, dispensational premillennialism, historic premillennialism, postmillennialism, preterism. These are difficult words to pronounce and even harder concepts to understand. A Case for Amillennialism presents an accessible look at the crucial theological question of the millennium in the context of contemporary evangelicalism. This study defends amillennialism as the historic Protestant understanding of the millennial age. Amillennarians believe that the millennium of Christ's heavenly reign is a present reality, not a future hope to come after his return. Recognizing that eschatology, the study of future things, is a complicated and controversial subject, Riddlebarger provides definitions of key terms and a helpful overview of various viewpoints. He examines related biblical topics as a backdrop to understanding the subject and discusses important passages of Scripture that bear upon the millennial age, including Daniel 9, Matthew 24, Romans 11, and Revelation 20. Regardless of their stance, readers will find helpful insight as Riddlebarger evaluates the main problems facing each of the major millennial positions and cautions readers to be aware of the spiraling consequences of each view.
