Coming Soon: Interview with Kenneth Gentry

It's my great pleasure to be able to announce that Kenneth Gentry has agreed to let me interview him on my show on Friday, February 24th. Gentry's contribution in The Great Tribulation--Past or Future?: Two Evangelicals Debate the Question, as well as his defense of an early date for the book of Revelation in Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation, were instrumental in my conversion to preterism from premillennial futurism. He's authored many other books, including Navigating the Book of Revelation, whose presentation of preterism's understanding of Revelation he joins me to discuss. Stay tuned!
