Amillennialism, dispensational premillennialism, historic premillennialism, postmillennialism, preterism. These are difficult words to pronounce and even harder concepts to understand. A Case for Amillennialism is an accessible look at the crucial theological question of the millennium in the context of contemporary evangelicalism. Recognizing that eschatology--the study of future things--is a complicated and controversial subject, Kim 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 question. 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.… (més)

A Case for Amillennialism is a thoughtful, pastoral, and most importantly, scriptural discussion of the various Christian perspectives on the "end times", a discussion that author Kim Riddlebarger firmly believes ends with Amillennialism as the logical outcome. He divides in four parts, beginning with the basics of understanding the terms and the basic theological positions. Second is a comprehensive look at the biblical and theological concerns. Third is an in-depth analysis of the critical biblical texts, i.e. Daniel's prophecy of 70 weeks, the Olivet discourse, Romans 11, and Revelation 20. He concludes with a discussion of end-times signs and the proper Christian perspective of them, and some final comments on the various problems associated with each "end times" viewpoint.

When I was in seminary "end times" was not a topic we delved very deeply into. Like Riddlebarger, I am within the Reformed tradition, and I loosely felt myself to be Amillennial, although without having a very clear understanding of what that meant. Reading this book has given me a firm place to stand regarding amillennialism, particularly in regard to the principal contrasting view, dispensationalism. I had felt there were significant holes in the dispensational system and I now have a greater understanding of what they are and how amillennialism answers them. And better than that, I feel more equipped as a pastor in discussing "end times" with members of my congregation and pointing them towards the blessed hope of the return of Christ. ( )

Let me first say that I'm writing this from the perspective of a former Dispensationlist that was bible college-trained in that theology.
Kim Riddlebarger makes a really good case for Amillenialism while not mischaracterising other positions, so it's nice to read a work that doesn't construct straw men. Rather, reading R.B.'s explanations of Amillienialism and critiques of other positioins. I appreciate the fact that he recognizes that Dispensationalists are serious about interpretation, but just don't recognized the genre of apocalyptic which leads them to some strange places in the name of "literal interpretation."

Excellent overview of the amillennial position. I tend to lean towards this view, although I am not dogmatic about it. I think post-mil has some truth to it, as does historical pre-mil. I am not dispensational though. ( )
