The end times: a contentious subject amongst Christians.

Will there be a literal 1,000 years after Christ’s return as dramatized by the popular Left Behind novels?

However, premillennialism is not the only option for Christians. In this important new book, Sam Storms provides a biblical rationale for amillennialism; the belief that 1,000 years mentioned in the book of Revelation is symbolic with the emphasis being the King and his Kingdom.

Perhaps it’s time that the theology of Left Behind was left behind.

Accessible scholarship: extraordinary observations presented in a down to earth manner. This comprehensive and substantial work faithfully deals with the relevant Biblical texts in great depth.

Some of Storms’ stop–offs include:

• Foundational Principles for the Interpretation of Prophecy
• Dispensationalism
• Daniel’s contribution
• Israel: “Replacement” theology and the future of Israel
• The Olivet Discourse of Jesus
• Revelation: Chronology, The Binding of Satan, The First Resurrection
• A study of the Antichrist
• The case for Amillennialism

A substantial and trustworthy contribution to the eschatological debate that deserves to be taken seriously. Sam Storms’ work will be a valuable resource to both students and the wider church.
