Reading this book, more than once btw, brought me the closest I've ever come from converting from Progressive Dispensationalism to Amillennialism. The point that really sticks out, and this is a point that many dispys (esp. classic/revised) would do well to take to heart, is the point on Rom 9--11 and the idea that 'Reformed Amillers' actually still see a "distinction" between Israel (remnant) and the Church (albeit within the framework of 'one people of God' like I do). I think if many dispys could appreciate this point they would quit calling or caricaturing Amillennialism as "Replacement Theology;" it clearly is not (will at least not all quarters).

This is a good book, Kim, I just can't make the break, completely (I am at least Progressive ;-).
