The PreteristSite
Millennial Meanderings

A lot of A- and Post-Millennial stuff naturally fits in with preterism and gives added support especially as relates to the nature/timing of the Millennium (obviously). So stuff that is just directly millennial issues will go here, while some stuff may be both on this page and on the Preterist Resources page as well. As I am personally postmillennial, there will be more attention directed towards that view though I am highly sympathetic towards preteristic amillennialism (any pieces that are more hostile towards amillennialism are included for informational purposes and may not reflect my personal views), and in a lot of cases see very little substantive difference. Most pieces that are critical of amillennialism are geered against non-preteristic amillennialism, a point of view I would also oppose. I generally will not include those species of amillennialism that argue in the pieces for a historicist understanding of Matthew 24 and its parallels. I also have separated out materials that are Exploring Theonomy as I have not yet reached a position on the perspective.
