Résumé : |
In this unique volume, the author, whose previous work The Millennium in the Church, has become widely accepted as an authoritative volume, attempts to reconcile current positions on millennial belief.
He writes: "'What interests me is the general overhauling and readjustment of the Church’s teachings and views concerning the second advent, that is coming. That hour will call to its very peculiar task not first of all the sheep of the flock of Christ, but its shepherds, to whom I have the great honor of belonging.” in calling for this revision of views on the Millennium, Prof, Kromminga suggests: “I trust it has become clear, that there is room for such a conception of the millennium in which neither the biblical doctrine of election and reprobation, of ’ the antithesis, is abandoned, nor the equally biblical doctrine of the one Covenant of Grace which spans the whole of human history from the Fall to the Judgment, and in which the successive historical periods are but so many steps in which God carries out His saving purpose and maintains His covenantal relationship to our race as a whole. I ask my readers to try this version of the millennial hope by applying to it the test of the Word of God. And, whether it must be accepted or rejected, let all who are Christ’s make bold to proclaim to our floundering world the message that our glorified Lord is coming with the clouds of heaven as Judge and as Savior, and let our hearts, singly and jointly, take courage and rejoice in that glorious prospect.” This is indeed a significant contribution to eschatology; as one enthusiastic reviewer puts it, “the most important contribution in our generation.” It will be eagerly and devoutly read by many whose minds and hearts are pondering on the signs of these latter days. |
