Sam Waldron has done the church another great service in writing this clear, concise, yet thorough treatment of the amillennial position. Eschatology can be as confusing as it is contentious. In this volume, Waldron has done his part in removing the confusion, and doing so in an irenic manner that ought to address the contention as well. This will be a helpful tool for those trying to understand, teach, or defend the amillennial position.

I write this recommendation as someone who honestly struggles with the doctrine of last things. Furthermore, I must confess that I have been greatly helped in my Christian life by theologians and preachers who have sincerely wrestled with this doctrine and come out with differing views. For some scholars, my confession may invalidate my recommendation, but I believe that most Christians and ministers identify with my lack of erudition and welcome a work by a proven theologian who loves God, His Word, and His people. This book is not written for his camp alone but for all believers. Therefore, even those who remain cemented in another opinion will still greatly benefit from a sincere reading of this Christ-exalting work.

A little over thirty years ago I first heard a series of sermons preached by Dr. Sam Waldron on eschatology. I cannot describe in a brief endorsement the impact those sermons had on my life, as I saw more clearly than ever how the gospel is at the very center of biblical eschatology. Since then, I have used Sam's lecture notes on eschatology several times when teaching this subject in various contexts. That is why I am absolutely convinced that this new publication will be of great benefit to you,regardless of your eschatological position. Because of Sam's unusual ability to complement biblical scholarship with a pastoral heart, you will not only gain a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about the last things, but it will fuel your hope and expectation for the second coming in glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

I have never heard anyone lecture on eschatology or read anyone who has written on the subject with greater clarity or with more convincing biblical and textual exegesis and exposition than Dr. Sam Waldron. If you have struggled with understanding what the Scripture teaches concerning last things or if you desire to understand the biblical basis for an amillennial perspective, its important practical implications, and why so many conservative Reformed evangelicals have embraced this perspective, then you must get this book!

Dr. Sam Waldron has taught the subject of eschatology for over thirty years. In the process, he has produced several helpful volumes. I am thrilled to see this new work, as it is the culmination and systematizing of all his preceding material. Sam once again cuts a straight course in the Word of truth, avoiding various pitfalls on the right and left. He lays out a clear case for “Optimistic Amillennialism,” showing that this is the best way of interpreting Scripture on the end times. May God honor His glorious Name through this new volume. And may it also encourage, strengthen, and greatly motivate His people in these last days. I recommend it enthusiastically.
