THREE VIEWS ON THE MILLENNIUM AND BEYOND
Evangelical Scholars
Tackling a Millennium Bug of Their Own
Years before computer programmers even heard of "Y2K," evangelical
Christian scholars were tackling a millennium bug of their own: a
passage in the book of Revelation that shows Jesus Christ ruling over
all the nations of the earth for 1,000 years. Scholars disagree over
what this apparently temporary reign means, since the Bible points to
Jesus ruling the universe forever. THREE VIEWS ON THE MILLENNIUM AND
BEYOND, edited by Darrell L. Bock, Professor of New Testament at
Dallas Theological Seminary, presents for the first time in one book a
dialogue among the three most common answers evangelical Christians
give to the millennial question: amillennialism, premillenialism, and
postmillennialism.
Bock mediates the discussion, which involves Craig A. Blaising
(premillennialism), New Testament scholar Kenneth L. Gentry Jr.
(postmillennialism), and systematic theology professor Robert B.
Strimple (amillennialism). Each contributor makes a detailed case for
his position and is followed up with brief critiques from the other
participants. Bock concludes the book by summarizing key differences
among the three views and pointing out important issues.
THREE VIEWS ON THE MILLENNIUM AND BEYOND
is the ninth title in Zondervan's expanding Counterpoints series, which is a forum for
comparison and critique of different views--both Christian and
non-Christian--on important theological issues.
