Professor Engelsma has recently written articles critical of preterism, deeming the full preterist view as heretical. Engelsma will present and defend the historic amillennial view. You can find Dr. Engelsma’s website at http://www.iserv.net/~prc/

Don K. Preston is the minister at the Ardmore church of Christ, and is the author of numerous books and articles on preterist eschatology. Many of his articles can be found at www.eschatology.org. He has engaged in numerous formal debates, as well as many “informal” encounters, and appears frequently on seminars.

The discussion between Engelsma and Preston will take place September 18, at 7-8 PM Central time. You can listen live on John Anderson’s website, www.Voiceofreasonlive.com. The program will be archived for those unable to listen live.

Topic of the discussion will be "Amillennialism -V- Preterism." This promises to be a very lively and enlightening discussion. Prof. Engelsma brings a high degree of scholarship and learning to the table, and is an outspoken advocate of amillennialism, and opponent of preterism. He is reputed to be an excellent debater. Preston on the other hand is a very active advocate and apologist of the preterist paradigm. Two very different world views will collide in this discussion!!
