Amillennialism Today

Amillennialism Today by Cox, William E.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780875521510.

Amillennialists have been accused of expending most of their energies criticizing other millennial theories, while they themselves have no positive system of theological beliefs. Even though these charges come from those who hold postmillenial or premillennial views, they still set forth a need for a statement of these things most surely believed among amillennialists. In our examination of amillennialism we shall deal somewhat with the history of this movement, some of its outstanding leaders, and its cardinal beliefs. In the latter category it will be necessary to settle for a majority view of their beliefs, since not every exponent of amillennialism would agree on every point of Scripture. Nor do they even attempt a forced conformity as a basis of fellowship. Amillennialism oversteps denominational lines; in fact, it oversteps theological lines. Men who agree on what the Bible has to say, or does not have to say, with reference to the millennium may stand poles apart on other cardinal doctrines of the Bible. Some of these differences will be enumerated later. What we are dealing with here is cardinal beliefs of amillennialism, and not cardinal doctrines of the entire Bible
