A Response to Hal Lindse~’s The Road to Holocaust (Tyler,

refutation to Hal Lindsey’s claim that all nondispensational
eschatologies are anti-Semitic. Lindsey has never replied
in public to this book, published one month after his The Road
to Holocaust. He did not revise any of its numerous factual errors
in the subsequent paperback edition. Prior to the publication
of The Road to Holocaust, he refused repeatedly to meet
individually in private with either Gary North or Gary DeMar,
although both men formally requested such a meeting.
Fairbairn, Patrick. The Prophetic Prospects of the Jews, o~ Fairbairn
vs. Fairbairn. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1930. Nineteenth-century
scholar Fairbairn changed his mind about the
conversion of the Jews. This volume reproduces his early arguments
for the historic postmillennial position, and his later
arguments against it.
Schlissel, Steve and David Brown. Hal Lindsey and the Restoration
of the Jews. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Still Waters Revival
Books, 1990. A Jewish-born Reconstructionist pastor responds
to Hal Lindsey’s claim that Christian Reconstruction is anti-
Semitic. Schlissel’s work is combined with David Brown’s work
which demonstrates that postmillennialism is the “system of prophetic
interpretation that historically furnished the Biblical basis
for the most glorious future imaginable for the Jews!”
