Excellent introduction to the preterist view that Christ returned in the events associated with the Fall of Jerusalem in the year A.D. 70. Also known as "Realized Eschatology" because of its similarity to the eschatology of C. H. Dodd, this brand of preterism is much more conservative. Anyone studying the impact of the 70 A.D. Destruction of Jerusalem on Christianity needs this. Radically different than the current popular millennialism, since it believes the Kingdom is here now. Author publishes a monthly magazine, KINGDOM COUNSEL, which develops these ideas further. Best annotated bibliography of preterist writings anywhere. Interprets apocalyptic & figurative language from a preterist hermeneutic, similar to J. S. Russell (THE PAROUSIA), Milton S.

Topics: Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24. Date of the book of Revelation. Cessation of miraculous gifts at 70 A.D. Mentions JOSPEHUS & TACITUS regarding the destruction of Jerusalem.

Since the days in the early twentieth century when the study of pre-Reformation English music first became a serious endeavour, a conceptual gap has separated the scholarship on English and continental music of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The teaching which has informed generations of students in influential textbooks and articles characterizes the musical life of England at this period through a language of separation and conservatism, asserting that English musicians were largely unaware of, and unaffected by, foreign practices after the mid-fifteenth century. The available historical evidence, nevertheless, contradicts a facile isolationist exposition of musical prac...
Analyzes what Jesus said about when he would return and the last days would arrive (as in Matthew 24:34). Defends the trustworthiness of Jesus' teachings.
The issues may change with the passing of the years, but the categories of concern change very little: sexuality and the sexes; medical decision-making; justice for the poor, the powerless, the underclass; reproductive decision-making; moral decision-making in business; and personal moral choices. Stevens attempts to present alternative positions on hotly debated new moral issues from a different standpoint, using an ethical pluralism approach. In doing this, he hopes to help readers arrive at their own non-polarized positions by learning from and respecting all parties in the discussion.
