The Beast of Revelation

  • Author: Kenneth L. Gentry
  • Edition: 2nd
  • Publisher: Victorious Hope Publishing
  • Publication Date: 2002
  • Pages: 246

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

A popularly written antidote to dispensational sensationalism and newspaper exegesis. Convincing biblical and historical evidence showing that the beast was the Roman Emperor Nero Caesar, the first civil persecutor of the church. The second half of the book shows Revelation’s date of writing, proving its composition as prior to the Fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. A thought-provoking treatment of a fascinating and confusing topic.

Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation

  • Author: Kenneth L. Gentry
  • Publisher: Institute for Christian Economics
  • Publication Date: 1989
  • Pages: 409

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

For centuries scholars have argued over when the book of Revelation was written a few years before or a quarter century after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The most accepted but not the most compelling date is around the time of Domitian (AD 95–96), at the end of the first century when John would have been nearly 100 years old. A more compelling date for the writing is during the reign of Nero Caesar, just a few years before Jerusalem’s destruction at the hands of the Roman commander Titus.

The evidence for this conclusion is found within the pages of Scripture. The Bible itself tells us when the Book of Revelation was written. We do not have to depend on people who wrote a hundred years or more after the fact to get the accurate story. God’s own word sets the record straight. Through careful and painstaking work, Dr. Gentry deals with all the evidence and weighs all the arguments.

The most prolific and persuasive of these [early-date, preterist] scholars is Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., whose two books on the subject, Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the book of Revelation . . . and The Beast of Revelation . . . are widely acknowledged to be the beast available defenses of this theory. . . . I must confess that I feel drawn to this position, although I'm not yet persuaded. Perhaps the long awaited commentary on Revelation that Gentry has promised will convince me.

—Sam Storms, author, Kingdom Come: The Amillennial Alternative

Presents a strong case for dating the Book of Revelation prior to the destruction of Jerusalem. Gentry has done an impressive job of collecting evidence to support his views. The book is well researched and cogently presented. He has given late-date advocates a challenge for further study.

—Thomas D. Lea, Criswell Theological Review

Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues

  • Author: Kenneth L. Gentry
  • Edition: 2nd
  • Publisher: GoodBirth Ministries
  • Publication Date: 2010
  • Pages: 211

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Navigating the Book of Revelation: Special Studies on Important Issues is the first book produced from research from Kenneth Gentry’s Revelation Commentary Project. This is not a commentary on Revelation. Rather, in it the student of Revelation will find fifteen special studies on key issues that are helpful for working his way through John’s mysterious book. Some of the studies are technical studies; some are more general. All offer important insights into the redemptive-historical preterist interpretation of Revelation.

In this work the reader will see how John put on the mantle of the Old Testament prophet to confront Israel in her rebellion, and will understand John’s anger with Israel, paralleling John the Baptist, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.

The book also details how John denounces Israel for her persecuting Christians and how he “excommunicates” the temple as an idol for Israel. Israel’s involvement with Rome against young Christianity is also explored, among answers to perplexing questions, such as: “Why did John send such a Hebraic book to Asian Christians?”

In addition, an important appendix is included that resoundingly answers the charge of anti-Semitism, which is often hurled at preterism.

    These are well worth the read. They can be used as an intro or at least a prelude to Ken's massive commentary on the Book of Revelation that will be coming out shortly....well, "shortly", from a preterist and postmil perspective anyway. Heh.

    Any Idea of when this is going to be available? It has been "in production" for a long time :)

    If you are curious about the preterist position, these books are a must read. Do yourself a favor and learn about preterism from scholars who actually subscribe to it instead of from only critics. Most critics misrepresent this view.
