The Olivet Discourse: A Preterist Reading

This work is an exposition of Matthew's Olivet Discourse, specifically 24:1–35, from a partial-preterist perspective. The book aims to demonstrate that a preterist approach to interpreting Scripture, particularly prophecy, is superior to a futurist approach, advancing greater contextual consistency—letting Scripture be the interpreter—than a futurist model. The author identifies a tradition of interpretation that sees the Olivet Discourse through a preterist lens, further strengthening the preterist perspective. Matthew's Olivet Discourse is a pivotal section, from which all positions hinge their understanding of Christ's return. How one interprets the Olivet Discourse shapes how one sees not only the New Testament but the entirety of Scripture.
