OK, full disclosure, George Ladd was my prof in seminary. Most anything by Ladd (except for his mediocre Revelation commentary) rings true to me.

If you want a fair treatment of the millennial question: Clouse's The Meaning of the Millennium is great for pro-con dialogue. If you want to look at options among premillennialists, try Stan Gundry's Three Views on the Rapture.

Erickson's theology has a fair statement of the eschatological positions as does Grudem. Not to be passed over, Loraine Boettner's The Millennium can be gotten from Doxa along with 9 (!!!) of his other books in computer form for only $10 (Ten Boettner books for $10, wow!).
