How does progressive dispensationalism resolve the tension between God’s enduring promises to ethnic Israel and the multinational reality of the Church, and where does it part ways with George Eldon Ladd’s historic premillennialism? In this second part of their discussion on eschatology and kingdom theology, Darrell Bock is joined by Craig Blaising (Senior Professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) to evaluate early church chiliasm, critique the hermeneutics of replacement theology and re-signification, and respond to common covenantal objections regarding the land, national structures, and the timing of the rapture. Join them as they explore how the eschatological kingdom brings holistic redemption to both individuals and nations, celebrating the deep reconciliation and shalom inaugurated through Jesus Christ.
