Gentry, Before Jerusalem Fell

Gentry, Kenneth L., Jr.: Before Jerusalem Fell. Dating the Book of Revelation. Tyler, TX: Institute for Christian Economics, 1989. Repr. 1997.

Dr. Gentry’s dissertation (now available in the second printing) is a very detailed study of the problem of dating Revelation. Dr. Gentry argues that the late, Domitianic dating is wrong and that an early dating should be preferred. He then proposes that the coming of Christ described in Revelation did in fact take place, viz. when Jerusalem fell. (5 Oct 1997).

For a detailed review, see R.L. Thomas: “Theonomy and the Dating of Revelation” in: TMSJ 5/2 (Fall 1994) 185-202. (5 Oct 1997).
