Eschatology: "A Postmillennial Primer" Study

I first heard of "Postmillennialism" while talking over the end times with my best friend, Brittney. Her family is Postmillennialist, as well as Ben's (her fiancee) family. I became interested in opening up the study of Eschatology soon after, when I was trying to compare the views of these friends, and what I had always been taught - which was mainly a Dispensationalist, Pretribulation view. Of even that, I know relatively little.

Well, I went on a trip with Brittney to meet her fiancee's family in Alabama. Ben's dad is a Pastor, and I enjoyed a couple of deep conversations with him, as well as Mr. Jack (Brittney's Dad) on the subject. Then Pastor N. gave me a booklet which summarizes what they believe, as well as defends it.



This book is called "The Postmillennial Primer." It is written by Andrew Sandlin and published by the Chalcedon Foundation, a ministry founded by R.J. Rushdoony.

The Table of Contents:

Preface by R.J. Rushdoony
Introduction
The Defect of Dispensationalism
The Problem of Premillennialism
The Anomaly of Amillennialism
The Promise of Postmillennialism
Afterword: The Inheritors
Suggested Reading


I am planning to post my study notes on this blog as I prayerfully consider an eschatological viewpoint. May the Lord guide my study!

Soli Deo Gloria!
