Debunking Preterism: How Over-Realized Eschatology Misses the "Not Yet" of Bible Prophecy

Dr. Brock D. Hollett formerly embraced preterism while earning his Master of Divinity at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2000 because the preterist perspective seemed to provide him with coherent arguments regarding the time statements of the New Testament. Persuaded by the arguments put forth by preterist scholars, especially R. C. Sproul, Hank Hanegraaff, N. T. Wright, Gary DeMar, and Kenneth Gentry, Dr. Hollett became a teacher at a church with a preterist orientation, and defended preterist eschatology as the host of a weekly radio program, Fulfilled Life, on Covenant Key FM. By 2013, he had finished writing a book defending preterism and was scheduled to be a conference speaker at a preterist prophecy conference. However, on the very night that he received the first box of 100 books from his publisher, the Lord spoke to his heart to reexamine the biblical doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, which led him to repent of his involvement with preterism. In 2017, God placed a fresh burden on Dr. Hollett's heart to write a book that sets forth a proper biblical eschatology and a roadmap for refuting preterism. He wrote Debunking Preterism: How Over-realized Eschatology Misses the "Not Yet" of Bible Prophecy in only three months, sensing a prophetic urgency regarding the project. Debunking Preterism will undoubtedly become the gold standard on the topic of preterism. The book is replete with a wealth of illustrative figures and comparative charts that reinforce its main concepts. Special emphasis is placed upon a proper understanding of the biblical time statements and the "already and not yet" principle of eschatology.

About the Author
Hollett, Brock D.: - Dr. Hollett earned a Bachelor of Science in middle school education from the University of Central Missouri in 2000 and a Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2003. He worked toward a Ph.D. in religious studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City from 2003 to 2004. He worked three years as a social worker for adults with developmental disabilities before becoming an osteopathic physician, earning his medical degree from Kansas City University of Medicine in 2014. He completed his psychiatry residency at Centerstone of Florida in Bradenton, Florida, in 2018. From 2015 to 2020 he served as an adjunct professor of science and biblical studies at Southeastern University in Bradenton, Florida. He received his board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 2020, and he currently practices psychiatry in Sarasota, Florida.Hollett authored Debunking Preterism: How Over-realized Eschatology Misses the "Not Yet" of Biblical Prophecy (2018), a comprehensive critique of preterism and defense of traditional, futurist eschatology. The book relays that he wrote it after abandoning preterism, having formerly embraced it for fourteen years.After studying Talmud under an Orthodox Chabad rabbi for five years, Hollett (under the pen name Tzemach David) authored Moshiach Now (2020), a Christian apologetic booklet which he described as a "Jewish work for the Jewish people." This work does not mention Jesus Christ or reference any exclusively Christian source, but it evaluates the Messianic prophecies of the Hebrew Bible and appeals to traditional rabbinic commentaries.His third book, Jesus, the Jews, and the End of the Age: What the Bible Predicts About the End Times (2023), is a four-hundred-page examination of virtually every biblical prophecy regarding the end of days. The book cover explains that it reflects the historic Christian understanding of eschatology as taught by the Church fathers while avoiding "the sensationalism often produced by popular prophecy teachers who espouse modern dispensationalism and the pre-tribulation rapture."
