Hi! A pastor friend of mine is going through various topics, all concerning their current statement of faith. He is taking all the elders and leaders of the church through a study before they begin the possibility of revising there statement of faith.
I'm Amil. This church is techinically dispensational, though open. My pastor friend is neither Amil or dispensational. He has asked me to recommend a book on the Amil position that would be good for his people to discuss and think about. The idea is to understand other views. I REALLY admire what he is doing.
------------------------------------------------------------
So.... (1) if you had to give only one book to someone with this request, and most were only familiar with dispensationalism....what book would give you the opportunity you are looking for?
And, (2) the same question for the argument concerning the 70 weeks of Daniel? What work would you throw their way?
------------------------------------------------------------
I'm undecided about the second question, but the first, I may recommend Cornelius Venema's shorter volume, "Christ and the future," Or "The Millennial Maze" by Stanley Grenz. What about you....?
Thanks in advance!
