Summary

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.

Testimonials

Changed Eschatology

Trent, United States of America - Colorado

I read parts of it so far, and am still plowing through it, but it changed my eschatology from a dispensational, pre-trib, premillennial view to amillennial. It made so much more sense! The former tried to make the Bible say what they wanted while the amillennial position let the Bible speak for itself!

Worldview

Ken Pujdak, United States of America - South Carolina

My worldview is shaped out of my millenialview. I have found the amillilenialview more consistant with scripture as it places an emphasis on the soverenty of God, where the other views seem to place the emphasis on the sovereignty of man and what man can or has to do to bring about the kingdom.

Thankful

Kim Riddlebarger's clear and concise examination of each eschatological school in this book has greatly helped my wife and I. We have a better understanding of the Biblical evidences or lack thereof for each tradition. With this clarity we have had opportunities to share the wealth of knowledge of God's Word with others, both believers and nonbelievers alike. Much thanks to Kim Riddlebarger for this excellent resource, but much more thanks unto our Lord for having moved him to produce it.
