Review Summary: Victorious Eschatology
Date: 2008-09-02
Details: This book is absolutely wonderful. I thought I was the only one that believed this premise. I am delighted to know there are others out there that is drawn more to a loving God than to a fearsome God. Even though God can be fearsome, his love is so great and awesome.
Review Summary: WOW
Date: 2008-04-12
Details: This book is not for those who are looking for the familiar as it pertains to eschatology. Additionally, it is not for those who have lost sight of the power of God and see the world and it's decline as futile. On the contrary, it is for those who have hope in their Savior Jesus Christ and that have a mind set to "occupy until He comes".
Review Summary: Preterism versus Futurism Revisited
Date: 2008-04-11
Details: "Victorious Eschatology" is primarily a presentation and promotion of "partial preterist" view of eschatology (the study of the end-times), and a critique (snub) of the "futurist" (dispensational) view. For those readers of this review who do not know what these terms mean, I will address your needs shortly. For those readers who are familiar with these terms and the debate that accompanies them, "Victorious Eschatology" does not offer much if anything new. Readers who already hold a partial preterist or similar view (especially those who also hold to post-millennialism), will probably enjoy this book since it basically preaches to the choir. Those readers who hold to a futurist view will find the authors' arguments vacant and unpersuasive. For those unfamiliar with this debate there are simply far better works to consult. The pro futurist/dispensational view is best represented in works by Charles Ryrie, John Feinberg, Darrell Bock, and Craig Blaising, etc; while the pro-preterist view is best represented in works by R.C. Sproul, Vern Poythress, O. Palmer Robertson, Willem VanGemeren, and Anthony Hoekema.
