I can’t be bothered to scan the cover of The End Times Made Simple, by Samuel E. Waldron, for a brief review of an 80/20 read like this. I believe the book can be summed up by the following excerpt:
Christians may put aside their assumptions that biblical eschatology is too complex for them. There are only two ages – one temporal and natural, the other eternal and supernatural, separated by the second coming, and resurrection. If one grasps this, one knows vastly more than most of the so-called “prophetic teachers” of our day.
Waldron make a good case for Amillenialism, mostly by elimination of the alternatives (particularly dispensationalism), though I wish he’d lay it out graphically somewhere as his position. There are a few good graphs, but some illustrate what he believes to be incorrect positions, and there’s no quick and easy way to tell. Also, the omission of an index is a glaring defect of an otherwise readable and well-argued book. I’m keeping the book, but don’t expect it to see any use anytime soon, unless the topic comes up or someone wants to borrow it.
