The end times made simple

Rapture? Pre-Trib? Post-Trib? Millenium? Confused? You should be! In today's Evangelical Christian world, eschatology―or the study of the "last things"―has been turned into a sort of pseudo-science with a plethora of authors claiming to know exactly the scenario of events that are to take place just prior to the Lord Jesus Christ's return. Samuel Waldron's thesis is that there is This Age, and The Age to Come..we will be, or are, in either one or the other. Any "End Times" system that forms a hybrid of these two, or contradicts this simple formula, is unbiblical, and should be rejected.

I have struggled through many "end times" books, and this seems to be one of the easiest to understand. The author does a good job of starting at the beginning with a description of the major scenarios and their differences, and then goes on to explain a bit about hermeneutics before trying to explain or defend his view. One reviewer stated she found it very difficult; I wonder if that is because the amillennial view is basically unknown to many Christians these days. If all you've ever known is the popular "secret rapture" view - if all you've read are the Left Behind books - you will really have to try to start with a clean slate and not project what you already "know" onto this view or you'll be confused. That said, once you get it, it certainly is simpler and makes more sense Biblically than any of the other end time views. I should mention that this view, far from being something on the fringe, was held to by such persons as Luther and Calvin themselves. SnooRay
