Anabaptist Eschatology Model: The Doctrine of Last Things According to Martyrs Mirror

By Timothy Evans Carter and A. Edmond Johnson

What if eschatology was never meant to be a timeline-but a way of life?

Anabaptist Eschatology Model examines how early Anabaptist martyrs understood the "last things" not through speculation, charts, or political expectation, but through faithful endurance under persecution. Drawing directly from Martyrs Mirror, this book treats martyr testimonies as theological data-revealing a coherent doctrine of death, resurrection, judgment, the kingdom of God, and Christ's return.

Using a TMQ (Target - Meet - Qualify) unification method, the authors identify a historically grounded framework called Faithful Expectancy Eschatology (FEE). This model shows how future hope shaped present obedience, producing nonviolence, assurance before death, resistance to coercion, and unwavering allegiance to Christ as King.

Rather than competing with premillennial, amillennial, or postmillennial systems, this work explains why none of those models fully account for the lived witness of the martyrs. The Anabaptist vision of the end was not about predicting events, but about living faithfully in light of God's promised future.

Written for theologians, pastors, historians, and serious students of Christian doctrine, Anabaptist Eschatology Model restores eschatology to its original purpose: forming faithful lives shaped by hope, not fear.
