I'm not much of a designer but I think it would be neat if Logos created an interactive that dealt with Eschatology where you could pick a topic like premillenialism and then logos would generate a chart (e.g. something similiar to what Grudem would put in his Sys. Theo. book) diagraming how it is viewed with scripture verses for each graph marker

    So whose view should be used?  It may be an overstatement, but from my view there is no other topic of Bible study over which there is such wide variations of opinion as eschatology. I've spent years creating my own chart which I have a confidence in, but is different from any other chart I've looked at. Along the way I've decided that while charts are good ways of summarizing an extremely complex topic, they are also deceiving because they don't make the user appreciate the issues behind the wrestling and judgement calls that went into it.

    I think, (just my opinion) that Eschatology is a subject that is the most severe test of one's hermeneutic, skill at finding literary patterns, and comprehensiveness of Biblical theology there is.

    Creating a book that has different charts from every published viewpoint would be a good thesis project, and perhaps a useful thing for Logos to do, but might be a very complex and controversial project.

    Have a great day,

    While this is not a topic of particular interest to me, choosing a few major / influential names in the field and representing their views would be an interesting addition.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
