Andrew Perriman - Sectarian Rhetoric of Preterism At Arms Length


Andrew Perriman "The polemical origins, continuing controversialism, and sectarian rhetoric of Preterism make it a difficult movement to evaluate - and I have to admit, my instinct is still to hold it somewhat at arm’s length."

Virgil Vaduva - Emerging folks like Andrew Perriman have pointed out the lack of dynamism and contemporaneous substance in Preterist theology; without the work of people like Ken Gentry those of us full preterists would not be as far along as we are, and here in Dayton we are making very good progress on a "new kind of Preterism" which gives substance and meaning to the lives of Christians rather than just theology with no practical meaning.

The hoax believers as a whole simply make themselves unaproachable with logic of any sort. They live in their own world with their own rules and truths, and don't let anyone in to rain on their parade. Like I said before, they cling to incorrect or invisible evidence. But when it comes to evidence that DOES exist, "Can't see it, won't hear it!" Scholars are turned off by the dogmatic insistence upon non-scholarly appeals. No amount of insistence can get a true scholar to agree. In fact, the more dogmatism they see, the more certain they become of the instability of those who must rely upon emotion to get their points across.
