You have one last week to get your copy of The Theology of the Book of Revelation, before several of us begin blogging about it next Monday, October 24 (assuming that the End of the World doesn’t happen on Friday, October 21).
Just to let you know in advance, I am predisposed against preterism. Here is what I think I will run into:
Nevertheless, I could be persuaded otherwise, and am excited to begin reading The Theology of the Book of Revelation this week.
Preterism, in case you don’t know, is the idea that almost everything in the Book of Revelation already occurred in the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, and the subsequent fall of the Roman Empire. So in other words, the end of the world is not nigh.
I am curious how Preterists explain Revelation, and so am looking forward to reading this book, which supposedly is one of the best on the subject.

Just like in dispensationalism there are different views on the end times and Christ return.
The same can be said for preterism.
Partial preterism furfils most of revelation and other prophecies. The only thing left is the final return and judgement of all.
One of the best books I have read on the subject while short covers the subject well is a book called Raptureless by Jonathan Welton
