Keith Mathison and I have a fair amount of shared history. We were at RTS Orlando together. We spent lots of time talking books and theology together while we worked in the bookstore. We worked together at Ligonier Ministries for a few years too, at one point sharing an office (sorry Keith). He remains at Ligonier, and continues to write in his spare time.
While we were in seminary, he worked on his first book, Dispensationalism: Rightly Dividing the People of God? which is the fruit of his journey from dispensationalism to covenant theology. I was one of the people who gave him some feedback on the early drafts. Some smarter and well-respected people looked at it too.
His book Given for You, on the Lord’s Table is a very good study of Calvin’s view and its development within Reformed Theology. I own, but have failed to read Post-Millennialism: an Eschatology of Hope. It is one of the areas in which we disagree, but I should get to it eventually.
His latest book, From Age to Age: the Unfolding of Biblical Eschatology looks to be very interesting. And probably more accessible than Vos’ Pauline Eschatology. Just a hunch. Keith most likely put together another well-researched, meaningful book. I only have one question: where is my review copy?
