A very short, slightly dated defense of the amillennial position. Grier is primarily writing to respond to the (at the time) newly popular Dispensational form of premillennialism though he certain has other forms in view as well. At only 128 pages, this is not an exhaustive book but it still manages to cover an awful lot. This does mean that relatively little direct exegesis is presented; mostly Grier presents passages that contradict the premillennial claims and only goes into depth on a few passages that are hotly debated (especially Revelation 20). The two page appendix on the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 is probably worth the price of the book, even though it is very cursory.

Grier’s amillennialism is a slightly older form that still has an under emphasis on the earthly aspects of the future, but he does not entirely neglect the earth either. His brief arguments are powerful and still prove formidable to all forms of premillenialism today. Don’t expect to get a thorough walk through of amillennialism but if you are wanting a brief but solid defense of it, this book is an excellent candidate.
