Pursuant to a prior post referencing this article, I figured I would post it in its entirety. It took a little time to reformat it, but hopefully I fixed it all up properly. It seems to be a pretty fair representation of the four major eschatological views of the millennium.

I've got Hoekema's Bible and the Future (recommended many places) and Vern Poythress' Understanding Dispensationalism, wending their slow way to me. A little light defensive reading.

Thank you, that was the book I was trying to remember.

Their certainly are four major views under the investigational system that you have found. Another potentially useful way to look at the controversy is that there are two main views, i.e., premillennial and non-premillennial.

This two-view approach to the investigation ignores the often fierce controversy between the historic premills and the dispensationalists, and it also ignores the rather-less-fierce controversy between the postmills and the amills.

I think that this two-view-approach is potentially very useful, since the key question is that of whether Christ's Second Advent inaugurates the Millennium (the view of both the historic premills and the dispensational premills) or terminates it (the view of both the postmills and the amills).
