"f you assume all evangelical Christians are motivated by the thought of a coming Rapture today, you may have missed the new end-of-days mood that has taken hold within American evangelicalism.

~Matthew D. Taylor

"If radicalized dispensational premillennialism inclines believers to retreat into distrustful enclaves and leave the world to its fate, radicalized victorious eschatology pushes believers to triumphally (and, perhaps, coercively) impose their Christianity on whole societies.
