Three Theses on Postmillennialism

How would you explain postmillennialism in three minutes?

One of the joys of speaking loudly around here is seeing some fine china broken in real-time. That’s a metaphor for views being shattered and replaced by something else.

What is that thing broken and replaced? The thing broken is a variation of pessimistic eschatology, and it is being replaced with some happy postmillennialism. Mind you, I am not so much concerned about the loyalty to the systematic category but about the heart of the matter.

It pleases me to see folks going through that theological transformation and sending me notes about it. I think postmillennial eschatology has not seen such a revival since Warfield’s Twitter feed in the 19th century.
