Product Description
It's the end of the world as we know it," proclaims the popular song. And sometimes the daily news appears to confirm that forecast. The signs of the times hailing Christ's return seem to be all around. Or so it appears. But, is it really the end of the world? Christians through the ages have held to a variety of understandings of the millennium--the belief that a 1,000-year period of utopia will one day come. In this book, prophecy expert and biblical scholar Marvin Pate helpfully highlights the three major views of when Christ will return--premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism--as well as a fourth skeptical interpretation, expertly analyzing them all. This timely treatment provides a reader-friendly, accessible overview of the ongoing debate over end-times viewpoints.

Pretty Good January 20, 2010
Book Guy (Rye Brook, NY United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an up-to-date summary for the non-specialist reader of current evangelical options in addressing Christian eschatology in general and the millenium in particular. Particular helpful was including preterist post-millenialism, given the relevance of this in current discussions. Also helpful is a chapter addressing how mainstream academic, critical scholarship evaluates New Testament apocalyptic. This book is short and informal and is insufficiently detailed for those of wide reading in these areas, but for readers looking at the issues for the first time, this is a good summary of the current live options.
