Summary: Excellent Apologetic for Amillennialism
Review: Other reviewers have given a very accurate and complete picture of what you will find in this book, so I'll keep my review short. I agree that I would have liked further treatment of Progressive Dispensationalism. I also found Riddlebarger's view on Romans 11 and Israel to be interesting, though I disagree with him as he notes many amillennialists would. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the various views of eschatology (specifically the amillennialist treatment of those views).This book was well timed for me. I'm a former dispensationalist turned amillenialist for similar reasons that Riddlebarger gives. Now, I find myself as a seminary student back in a very dispensationally bent school. Needless to say, I was not getting a clear treatment of amillenialism nor was I able to find much contemporary treatment of the subject until this book was released. I hope this book finds it way into seminary classrooms everywhere. Thank you Dr. Riddlebarger.

Summary: Helpful, but limited study
Review: Riddlebarger has written a helpful summary of the amillennial eschatology. His book is especially helpful when it counters the dispensational view, but is not as effective in countering postmillennialism. If you want to know what drives the amillennial outlook, this is a helpful (though deficient) book. For those interested in seeing a postmillennial response to some of the key arguments, see: Kenneth Gentry, ed., Thine Is the Kingdom (Chalcedon). It would have been interesting to see how Riddlebarger would have responded to Gentry's counter-arguments. Maybe in a second edition!

Summary: What More Can Be Said?
Review: This book is a very helpful volume if you are wanting to learn more about the problems with various eschatological viewpoints. It is also an able defense of amillennialism, that in conjunction with Anthony Hoekema's monumental book, proves quite convincing.
The time to refute the Hal Linseys, Van Impes, and their courtiers is here. This book is a very present help for that burden.
