My Position on Eschatology

(The following is an edited response to an inquiry on the topic.)

I am a partial preterist and a postmillennialist. Although I had performed extensive research before coming to this conclusion, I have yet to address eschatology in my books and articles. It might be some time before I will write about it in detail, so I will probably first write a short article about it before long, at least to state my position for those who wish to know. Perhaps I will do it in the context of a basic exposition on the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24.

Meanwhile, here is a partial list of the books that represent my position:

  • R. C. Sproul, The Last Days According to Jesus
  • Keith A. Mathison, Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope
  • Greg L. Bahnsen, Victory in Jesus: The Bright Hope of Postmillennialism
  • J. Marcellus Kik, An Eschatology of Victory
  • Loraine Boettner, The Millennium
  • John Jefferson Davis, The Victory of Christ's Kingdom: An Introduction to Postmillennialism

Also see:

  • Gary DeMar, End Times Fiction: A Biblical Consideration Of The Left Behind Theology
  • Gary DeMar, Last Days Madness: Obsession of the Modern Church
  • Keith A. Mathison, Dispensationalism: Rightly Dividing the People of God?

I recommend starting with Mathison's Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope.
