Interpreting Revelation (with Jen Wilkin)

Keith Mathison's 'Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope' presents a comprehensive defense of postmillennial thought from a Reformed theological perspective. Mathison argues that the kingdom of God will grow and Christ's reign will increasingly shape society prior to the final consummation, offering a hopeful alternative to pessimistic eschatologies. The book interacts with Scripture, church history, and contemporary theological arguments, addressing objections to postmillennialism. Aimed at pastors and students, it is both polemical and constructive, seeking to reclaim an historically significant eschatological position. Mathison's work is often cited in discussions about millennial frameworks and influenced Jen Wilkin's wider reading as she researched Revelation.

In 'All Things New,' Brian J. Tabb presents Revelation as a culmination of biblical prophecy, drawing heavily from Old Testament imagery to illustrate themes of judgment, salvation, and restoration. The book is structured around key biblical-theological themes, including the triune God, Christ's followers and foes, and God's word. Tabb argues that Revelation is not just about the end times but serves as a guide for living faithfully in the present.
