Since "bassbum" posted a really good question on books, I thought I'd ask one about the well-known authors R.J. Rushdoony, Greg Bahnsen, and Cornelius Van Til. Never having read much by them, I was wondering: were these guys influenced by each other, and did they know each other? Or were they independent of each other in their thought?

I was just wondering if there was an inter-relationship among them something like the one with C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the "Inklings".

Father Rushdoody of the modern Christian Reconstruction movement condemns amillennialism and amillennialists.

Quote
Amillennialism ... (is) in retreat from the world and blasphemously surrender(s) it to the devil. By its very premise that the world will only get worse ... it cuts the nerve of Christian action.... If we hold that the world can only get worse ... what impetus is left for applying the word of God to the problems of this world? The result is an inevitable one: amillennial believers who profess faith in the whole word of God ... are also the most impotent segment of American society, with the least impact on American life. To turn the world-conquering word of the sovereign, omnipotent, and triune God into a symbol of impotence is not a mark of faith. It is blasphemy ("Postmillennialism versus Impotent Religion," Journal of Christian Reconstruction, pp. 126, 127).
