The Kingdom Come

This is a chapter-by-chapter review of the book "The Shape of Sola Scriptura" by Keith Mathison. This review began on March 30, 2009 & is expected to end before September 2009.

The purpose for the review is to enhance Bible study by first studying how to approach the Bible. In modern Evangelical denominations, it is common to take a "private interpretation" approach where every individual gives their own private interpretation & then perhaps shares it with a larger group. Sometimes, all such interpretations are considered equally valid. This method is NOT what the Reformers had in mind when they articulated Sola Scriptura (Bible Alone). The Reformers did not intend to divorce Bible interpretation from historic Christian interpretation but merely question Papal/Church infallibility.

In 2004, Keith Mathison published a book by himself & five contributors. The book is called "When Shall These Things Be? - A Reformed Response to Hyper-Preterism". Since 2004, hyperpreterists have sought to respond to the response but as of yet the hyperpreterists have been unsuccessful in not only publishing a response but even in getting together in enough unity to write a response. At this present time, there are at least 3 separate teams by hyperpreterists that seek to publish a response. As a side note, hyperpreterist "scholar" Sam Frost has actually been a member of ALL 3 PROJECTS -- either being kicked off of one & moving to another or going to another when it seems likely they may actually publish first. Well folks, you need not wait any longer. I beat them all to it AND you don't have to buy it. IT'S FREE! Please click either the MSWord or PDF link to read my 35 page review/response of WSTTB. I hope to have brought some unique perspective to the review as:

1. I WAS a hyperpreterist for 15 years
2. I WAS on one of the projects mounting a response
3. I AM no longer a hyperpreterist
