Book excerpt: Author of dominionist title 'Before Jerusalem Fell' and leaning toward a preteristic approach to Revelation ... Gentry does a good job of explaining the issue, showing the points of dispute and different interpretations between dispensationalism / premillennialism, amillennialism, and postmillennialism. It's hinted at throughout the book--and blatantly obvious in the appendices--that Gentry believes that postmillennialism directly leads to the acceptance of theonomy and perhaps the Christian Reconstruction movement, which prescribes Old Covenant law as the basis for civil governments. Gentry argues errors in dispensationalism and gives reasons to prefer postmillennialism over amillennialism, but fails to provide a fair reason that the Kingdom of God on earth equals the continuance of the Law. Gentry needs a more comprehensive description of how theonomy complements postmillennialism and how this might practically be approached in the present days. -- From Amazon.com review.
