Announcing the New Amillennialism Collection

Amillennialism is a subject near and dear to my heart. Many Reformed Christians I’ve met have been hurt in some way, or viewed with suspicion, because they came to an amillennial understanding of the end times. I know that cost can be real.

I gathered The Amillennialism Collection to put the biblical, covenantal, and confessional case in one place. It brings together articles and primary sources on Christ’s present reign, Revelation 20, Israel and the church, the Reformed confessions, and the hope of Christ’s return.

He claimed that if you’re an amillennialist, you’re basically saying, “The kingdom as identified in the Old Testament and promised to Israel will not happen!” To a lot of Reformed people, this

Reformed Hermeneutics: A Christ-Centered Approach to Biblical Interpretation

Why do sincere, Bible-believing Christians often arrive at different interpretations of the same passage of Scripture? The answer doesn’t lie first in a lack of reverence for the Bible, but in how the Bible is read. Over time, I have found that most disagreements arise not from indifference to Scripture, but from differing assumptions about
