Fr J:

This "preterist" understanding of Revelation is the one I learned in
seminary.  Tends to make the book a bit more relevant to the original
audience, huh?

JVDB:  Father, have you looked at Kenneth Gentry's "Before Jerusalem
Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation" (he uses A LOT of quotes from the
Early Church Fathers!) and David Chilton's "The Days of Vengeance:  An
Expostion of the Book of Revelation"?  Both are excellent books I would
highly recommend...probably not what you're used to reading though...
