The Millennial Kingdom is a comprehensive biblical and historical treatment of the doctrine of the millennium written for the pastor, students, scholar, or layperson. The three leading millennial views -- postmillennialism, amillennialism, and premillennialism -- are presented in the context of their history, their theology, and their biblical interpretation. Dr. Walvoord presents postmillennialism first and then discusses amillennialism. However, the subject of premillenialism forms the main body of the work. The author introduces premillennialism with a survey of its historical background in the Old and New Testaments and in the history of the church. Its theological setting and methods of interpretation are discussed. A presentation of the character of the millennium concludes the volume.

The Millennial Kingdom,

This review is from: The Millennial Kingdom: A Basic Text in Premillennial Theology (Paperback)
An outstanding book! One of the best I have ever read. Dr. Walvoord has no peer in understanding premillennialism and the doctrine of a future millennium on earth and how it affects interpretation of the Covenant with Abraham.

A stodgy, combative discussion of premillenialism,
By
This review is from: The Millennial Kingdom: A Basic Text in Premillennial Theology (Paperback)
This book is a collection of essays on the kingdom of God that got published in the Dallas Theological Seminary academic journal back in the 1940's and 1950's. The writer attempts to prove that when Jesus returns, there will be a literal 1000 year kingdom of peace on earth. I felt that the author proved his case from Scripture fairly well. But he spends a lot of time trading barbs with Christians of other eschatological perspectives. So the book comes across as somewhat snooty and contemptuous . Which is too bad, really. But if you can wade through the stodgy prose, then I think you will learn quite a bit about 20th century millennialism.
