Book excerpt: Excellent introduction to the preterist view that Christ returned in the events associated with the Fall of Jerusalem in the year A.D. 70. Also known as "Realized Eschatology" because of its similarity to the eschatology of C. H. Dodd, this brand of preterism is much more conservative. Anyone studying the impact of the 70 A.D. Destruction of Jerusalem on Christianity needs this. Radically different than the current popular millennialism, since it believes the Kingdom is here now. Author publishes a monthly magazine, KINGDOM COUNSEL, which develops these ideas further. Best annotated bibliography of preterist writings anywhere. Interprets apocalyptic & figurative language from a preterist hermeneutic, similar to J. S. Russell (THE PAROUSIA), Milton S. Terry (BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS), Timothy James (THE MESSHIAH'S RETURN), Ron McRay (THE LAST DAYS), & Max King (THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY). All these books available from this publisher. Topics: Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. Date of the book of Revelation. Cessation of miraculous gifts at 70 A.D. Mentions JOSPEHUS & TACITUS regarding the destruction of Jerusalem.
