The PreteristSite
Contra-Dispensationalism

There are a lot works in this category, so the ones listed here are going to be works by preterist, thus tying in preterist hermeneutics, or ones which I particuarly have found useful by nonpreterists. There are works dealing with refuting premillennialism are also presented although it is recognized that not all premillenialists are dispensational, however, the converse is always true.

VARIOUS ~ Kenneth Gentry used to produce a newsletter called "Dispensationalism in Transition" which contain many articles relevant to preterism ~ here is a link to a more recent batch of these newsletters.
