Covenant Joel
Puritan Board Sophomore
If I'm not mistaken, there are two "strains" in postmillennialism. One sees a yet future "golden age" which will literally be a thousand years of peace on earth. That future period will be the millennium. This was the Puritan postmillennial view, if I am not mistaken.
The other view is that we are currently in the millennium (as amils say), and say that things will continue to "improve" (whether in a gospel-extension sense, a socio-political, etc. sense, or both) until Christ returns. The thousand years is not literal in this schema.
Two questions: Am I right in saying the above? And which view did Loraine Boettner take?
Thanks,
Joel
