Mark Sundeen Quotes

Among Evangelical Christians, All Of Whom Await The Second Coming Of Jesus, There Are Historically Two Camps: Postmillennialists And Premillennialists. For Most Of The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Centuries, Most Were Of The "post" Variety, Meaning That They Expected The Messiah's Return After The Thousand-year Reign Of Peace. In Order To Hasten His Arrival, They Set Out To Create That Harmonious World Here And Now, Fighting For The Abolition Of Slavery, Prohibition Of Alcohol, Public Education, And Women's Literacy.
The Chaos Of The Civil War And Industrialization Caused Many Evangelicals To Rethink Their Optimism. They Determined That Jesus Would Actually Arrive Before The Final Judgment. Therefore Any Efforts Toward A Just Society Here On Earth Were Futile; What Mattered Was Perfecting One's Faith. As Historian Randall Balmer Writes, These Believers "retreated Into A Theology Of Despair, One That Essentially Ceded The Temporal World To Satan And His Minions.
