The PreteristSite
Free Books

Looking for free online high-quality scans of books? Pretty soon, your only stop will need to be Google. It has good start going right now.

Google Book Search

Microsoft has also launched its MSN Live Book search


At this time, I stepped back to remind myself of my goal in starting this out three or so years ago, and it was to have a repository of orthodox preterist materials without people having to go to sites which actively promote or expose people to the hyperpreterist heresy. I have absolutely suceeded in this goal. I have a great deal of the material found on those sites and some material that can only be found here or other orthodox sites. There is one area in which that has not happened, and that is the hosting of high-quality scans of older books of which one particular site has done a very very admirable job. However, that will soon be a non-factor for two reasons. One, Google is getting into the business of hosting old scans and neither myself nor any site containing heretical material will be able to beat Google at the information game. Second, I have decided to save funds to buy a book-scanner myself and level that playing field for the materials I have access to that are not on Google.


Alford, Henry

The State of the Blessed Dead ~ Alford was a staunch futurist, and there are many points in this book from which I would depart, but he raises some solid points for the resurrection

Boettner, Loraine

The Millennium

Canfield, Jospeh M.

The Incredible Scofield and His Book ~ an online PDF file (in multiple sections) of this critical biography of C.I. Scofield, I have not read this work but have heard it referenced ~ Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven

Chamberlain, Walter

The national restoration and conversion of the twelve tribes of Israel

Chilton David

Days of Vengeance ~ commentary on Revelation ~ another link is here

Paradise Restored - A Biblical Theology of Dominion

Davis, Steven

Don't be "Left Behind" ~ an online full-length version of the book

DeMar, Gary

Last Days Madness ~ The seminal work on preterism. A must have for any eschatological student. If I had to recommend just one book, this would be it. Chapter 11, "Identifying Antichrist", can be found here and Chapter 15, "The Passing Away of Heaven and Earth", can be found here
