God's Plan for Victory: The Meaning of Postmillennialism

by R. J. Rushdoony, Martin G. Selbrede (Other)

Overview

Goals determine our present-day action, and if the purpose of our action is God's victory in history, then we are all the more motivated in our actions. Our goal is Christ's Kingdom and His purpose for humanity and the world. Therefore, our eschatology is vital for how we should govern our lives today. The average Christian holds an eschatology of defeat with the only victory coming in heaven after we die or at Christ's return. As far as history is concerned, they are "pessimillennialists." Not so for postmillennialism which invigorates the Christian life with a victorious view of God's Kingdom in history so that each Christian finds the purpose needed to fuel their application of the faith in every area of life and thought.

God's Plan for Victory: The Meaning of Postmillennialism is a concise statement of this victorious eschatology and why you should embrace it. This third edition is expanded to include six appendices featuring other writings by R. J. Rushdoony on postmillennialism.

About the Author

Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God’s standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God’s law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church’s false view of God’s law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as “Christian Reconstruction.” He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.
