About this episode
The episode discusses the shift of American evangelicals from postmillennialism to premillennial dispensationalism and its implications for the church's outlook.
How did American evangelicals move from being largely postmillennial to embracing premillennial dispensationalism? Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller explore how both liberals and fundamentalists have often shared faulty assumptions about history, and how those assumptions have shaped the church's outlook, shifting it from triumphalism to pessimism rather than cultivating a posture of hope and resilience.
