For what it may be worth, I list the five main things I did in the second edition on Amazon in a note From the Author. Re.
Subject Index
- is tighter and more user-friendly, eliminating a lot of extraneous entries,
- most importantly, it begins with a list of the 40 tables/diagrams/outlines that the book contains (that was not in the index before).
- the writing has been tightened throughout
Chapter 4
- a couple more bullets on p.38,
- the table on pp. 39-40 has been expanded somewhat,
- the entire 3-page section on the quantitative difference between the two ages, beginning at the bottom of p.40, is new.
Chapter 5
- pp.55-57 are essentially new.
Chapter 8
- the section on New Creation Millennialism (pp.93-95) is new,
- the discussion of postmillennialism has been augmented and includes more and better postmillennial citations as has the discussion and critique of preterism (in the first edition I didn’t quote or cite Don Preston, a leading “full preterism” proponent–now I do quite a bit).
Appendix 2
- I reordered, augmented, and strengthened the section on the “two resurrections” from p.374 to the top of p. 386.
Minor addition,
- Chapter 12, the chapter which deals essentially with “What difference does it make?” I think that chapter is important because most people don’t think eschatology is relevant for practical life, but I think I have shown that, historically and logically, it has made a big difference and can lead to an integrated, coherent theology and life.
