I really do like Boettner in so much of his writings. But his The Millennium is not something I appreciated and found disagreeing with his view(s) on too many things, especially his typical view of the "Golden Age".

To counter this unfounded optimism, I would counter Boettner with his critique of Postmillennialism and the "Golden Age" in particular which one can find in his excellent book, The Promise of the Future, pp. 225,6 and p. 340ff "Evaluating Postmillennialism" (Chapter 12). grin
