Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2018

Mr. North's writing style -- sharply critical of and even abusive toward those with whom he disagrees -- detracts from his treatment of his subject and, in my opinion, lacks the grace that should characterize Christian writing.

NORTH ARGUES FROM POSTMILLENNIALISM FOR MORE EMPHASIS ON EVANGELISM

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2011

Gary Kilgore North (born 1942) is head of the Institute for Christian Economics, and a prominent Christian Reconstructionist, who has written widely on many topics (including postmillennial eschatology).

He wrote in the Preface to this 1990 book, "The biggest problem facing the world is that the vast majority of the people in this world are headed straight to hell... I contend in this book that the concern of most evengelical Christians is misplaced today. For over a century, their primary theological concern has been the dating of the Second Coming of Christ... various theories of the Second Coming of Christ... have overshadowed the uncontestable FACT of world population growth and its implications for world evangelism... I am praying for an unprecedented historical discontinuity: a worldwide reversal of the growth of Satan's earthly kingdom in my generation..."

He suggests, "It is my opinion that Rev. (Greg) Bahnsen's denial that theonomy inherently implies postmillenialism... is motivated in part by his attempt to adopt a strategy of fighting two separate theological wars rather than an interlinked two-front war. He faces an institutional dilemma. He insists that theonomy is alone biblical and therefore is consistent with the Westminster Confession of Faith... He is also an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, which, like all modern Bible-believing Presbyterian churches except the tiny Bible Presbyterian Church, is offically neutral eschatologically and is dominated by amillennialists." (Pg. 73-74)

He charges, "Hal Lindsey insists that he is deeply concerned about social issues, but in The Late Great Planet Earth, he contented himself with this one-paragraph reference to Christian involvement, on the very last page of his text..." (Pg. 191) He asserts, "I think history is coming to a head. I believe in the 6,000-year old earth... What weighs upon me is not prophecy; rather, it is the inescapable reality of today's worldwide population. God will lose 6 to 10 billion souls over the next 75 years if the revival does not come." (Pg. 313)

This book will be of interest to those interested in Christian Reconstruction, as well as Postmillennialism (or even Amillennialism or Preterism).

Metanoia

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015

"Postmillennialism had its greatest historical impact from the early Puritan era through the North American religious revival known as the First Great Awakening (1735-55).19 It dominated conservative American Presbyterian theology, North and South, during the nineteenth century.20 It faded in popularity during the First World War. It has begun to revive within Calvinist circles since the early 1970's." (p. 21)
---
This is not quite correct. Giovanni Papini was a prominent spokesman for the postmillennial point of view :

(...) Nel sottosuolo del pessimismo, v'è un altro peccato (...) : l'accidia. (...) per rassicurare la sua conscienza, l'accidioso si persuade che la realtà è putrefatta senza remissione, che la malattia denominata vita è incurabile, che il disastro del genere umano è senza scampo, che Satana regna e regnerà fino all'ultimo perché invincibile..

(...) In the basement of pessimism, there is another sin (...): sloth. (...) To reassure his conscience, the slothful is persuaded that reality is putrefied without remission, the disease called life is incurable, that the disaster of mankind is without escape, that Satan reigns and will reign until the end because he is invincible.

Giovanni Papini, Paradiso ritrovato, in La spia del mondo (1955)
---
See also his book "The Letters Of Pope Celestine VI To All Mankind" (1948) :

Today all the world is "positus in maligno";

He came among us not only to offer His blood to redeem our sins, but also to teach a new form of happiness, one of more enduring and satisfying wealth.

There remains only one experiment: the spiritual revolution of the Gospel, the "metanoia," the inner upheaval which will make every subject a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, every citizen a brother in the universal confraternity of love.

The "metanoia," in an evangelical sense, is the premise for the necessary saving unity. This unity is so strong in God's designs that, almost unknown to themselves, men have prepared and do prepare for it through the wars arising from the divisions within mankind.

deserves to be widely read

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2010

This is a good explanation and defence of post-millennialism, particularly in contrast to dispensational premillennialism. It is well-written, and all serious Christians would benefit from reading it, even if they do not agree with Dr North's conclusions.
