Jamey Bennett offers a tip or two on where to start when considering postmillennial thinking

Since I've run postmillennialism.com for ten years now, I get asked this question quite a bit: What's the best one-stop postmillennial resource out there? I wish that I could say it is this site, but it's not. You know, life and all that jazz gets in the way.

So my current answer is this: Hands down, Heaven Misplaced by Douglas Wilson.This is THE number one Eschatology book around. Seriously. His intention was to write a book that skips the "train schedules" and technical theological mumbo, but gives the thrust of optimistic eschatology. (Full disclosure: I edited this book. However, I do not make any bucks off of promo-ing it. I've been paid for it, and will never be paid again.)

Beyond that, Keith Mathison's Postmillennialism: An Eschatology of Hope is the definitive treatment of the subject. A Mathison in the left and a Bible in the right will rock your world. He takes your hand and leads you from creation through the covenants, incarnation, early church, and then through Church history. Eventually, he sets you free. And you find a little extra bounce in your step, too.

If you want a little more help on why the tribulation is not in our future (though that is not essential to postmillennialism), see End Times Fiction by Gary DeMar for a great refutation of dispensationalism and an excellent overview of various possible applications of apocalyptic Bible prophecy. A more recent, and wonderfully accessible, book is The Apocalypse Code by Hank Hanegraaff. Both are rigorously Biblical and unexpectedly accessible.
