Paradise Restored: A Biblical Theology of Dominion - Reconstructionist Radio (Audiobook)
David Chilton
Does the Bible teach Christians to expect victory or defeat in this world? In this powerful book, David Chilton sets forth extensive biblical evidence for the historic Christian view know as postmillennialism - the teaching that, before the Second Coming of Christ, the world will be successfully evangelized and discipled to Christianity.
