I'm Amil, couldn't put a handle on it though of what person it would follow except to say the scripture. Rejected Premillennialism in the 70's after reading The Late Great Planet Earth, by Lindsey. Presupposition gone wild, from him. Dabbled with Postmillemmialism on and off for a few years.

Recently read Riddlebarger's treatment of Amillennialism and thought it to be a pretty good effort, although a bit choppy in places.

I think the weakness of Riddlebarger's treatment is it's obsession with Dispensationalism. I understand that he wrote it as an answer to Dispensationalism, but to then title it "Amillennialism" seems a bit odd.

Hoekema's "The Bible and the Future" is also good.

Some very good posts! "free will" by definition states that human
beings are able to choose their actions without being caused to do
so by external forces. I choose to call it "self will." Scripture clearly
tells us without God's influence we cannot be saved. I think that
"free will" is a misnomer.

One thing really jumped out at me after listening to Riddlebarger's Amil 101 audio lecture series: In one of the lectures he got rather riled up and dogmatically almost yelled, "He (Christ) is the true Israel".

Hmmn.

I'm not expert on the Amil subject (do accept it though), but it seems to me that Kim didn't really discuss/or accept? the possibility that "Israel" and its word meaning may also extend beyond Christ and into the new age/whole world when that time happens.
An idea which a few? earlier Amil writers (including Hoekema in his book?) discussed and believed.

Give Vos a try. "Redemptive History and Biblical Interpretation" will cover a lot of foundational ground, pick up "Pauline Eschatology" for the framing... and Bavinck's dogmatics, 4th volume, for the rest.
