Premillennialism: Non-Scriptural, Non-Historic, Non-Scientific, Non-Philosophical

By George Preston Mains

Book Overview

Premillennialism: Non-Scriptural, Non-Historic, Non-Scientific, Non-Philosophical is a book written by George Preston Mains. The book is a critique of premillennialism, a belief in Christian eschatology that holds that Jesus Christ will return to earth before the millennium, a period of one thousand years of peace and prosperity. Mains argues that premillennialism is not supported by scripture, history, science, or philosophy. He examines the origins of premillennialism and its development over time, and argues that it is a relatively recent belief that has no basis in the teachings of Jesus or the early Christian church.Mains also critiques the various interpretations of biblical prophecy that are used to support premillennialism, arguing that they are often based on flawed interpretations of scripture and a lack of understanding of the historical and cultural context in which the texts were written.Overall, Premillennialism: Non-Scriptural, Non-Historic, Non-Scientific, Non-Philosophical is a thorough and well-researched critique of a popular belief in Christian eschatology. It will be of interest to scholars of religion, theology, and history, as well as to anyone interested in understanding the origins and development of premillennialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
