Problems with Preterism: An Eschatology Built upon Exegetical Fallacies, Mistranslations, and the Misunderstanding of a Genre
Ebook
Preterism is the belief that the majority, if not all, of the eschatological passages in the New Testament have already been fulfilled in the first century. Although there are some needed correctives that preterism provides when interpreting eschatological statements in the Synoptic Gospels, the interpretive methodologies employed are largely plagued with exegetical and logical fallacies. On top of these, the genre of apocalyptic is often completely lost on the modern interpreter and as a result leads to numerous non sequiturs made when it comes to the nature and time of biblical eschatology.
This book seeks to correct these hermeneutical missteps by providing exegetical principles that may help guide the reader to a more biblically sound conclusion concerning the timing and nature of biblical eschatology.
“Hodge’s work will be discussed for many years to come among preterist interpreters. His analysis is well developed and critical as he pinpoints many unspoken assumptions read into various texts. His methodology does not let up either. While utilizing an impressive bibliography, Hodge brings his own insights on these matters that will benefit thoughtful exegesis for students, teachers, and pastors.”

This book fails to produce any convincing arguments against preterism. Oddly, the "Praise for Problems with Preterism" blurb touts the opinions of a partial preterist! The author faults preterists for resorting to faulty translations. KJV only!? The early Christians were clearly preterist. I hope to be able to post more in support of my rating.
