Summary: A must read for anyone studying Revelation
Comment: As a teachable student of the Bible, one must consider reading this book. It contains all of the avialable sources of the historical record relating to the debate regarding the date of Revelation's writing. The author is clearly making a case for the pre-70AD writing, but gives weight and the benefit of the doubt to ambiguous opposing arguments. He later shows in what way these arguments are flawed. I eagerly await a response from the other side, however, Gentry's case seems air-tight.
Gentry breaks the book into two major sections, external and internal evidence. The book is not for the light of heart, as it is rather detailed. I'd recommend this book for all who have the ernest desire to know what the church has had to say on this interesting subject, but not those merely wishing to understand preterism.

Summary: History, prophecy and 70 A.D.
Comment: Without a doubt, Dr. Kenneth Gentry's book, "Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation", is one of the most enlighting readings I have ever come upon. Intrigued by his review of R.C. Sproul's work, "The Last Days According to Jesus", I sought out BJF and read it with an open mind that had already dumped any pre-tribulation view after the Y2K "mess" and had starting thinking more about the nature of the Olivet Discourse. What I read astounded me.
Dr. Gentry not only presents and defends his side with hard exegetical evidence, but also takes the time to present other views and then explains, using this same method, why they are not true. Digging through the pages of history of the early church fathers, citing excellent commentaries from the late 19th and early 20th century, and taking Scripture with the seriousness that any scholar should, Gentry gives overwhelming evidence that Revelation was written prior to A.D. 70 and also gives us answers into some of the mysteries such as
Who is the Beast?
What is 666?
Is the tribulation past or still to come?
as well as demonstrating that the majority of Revelation, all of the Olivet Discourse and the 70 weeks passage in Daniel was fulfilled in the destruction of the Temple by the Romans. Dr. Gentry shows that, as should always be the case, that prophecy is easier to understand after it has been fulfilled than before. If you are into any view that calls for a tribulation of any kind, should you decide to read this book, you will definitely be affected and challenge to make a change of such a view.
Rating: 5
Summary: Solid, well researched, and highly convincing
Comment: As in his many other books on eschatology, Gentry presents a view that is the most Biblically sound, convincing, and defensible of any that you'll encounter in Christendom today. The book presents a compelling case for the early dating of the Book of Revelation, opening the door to a preterist understanding of prophecy. It is the finest work I've seen on the dating issue of the Book of Revelation. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to truly investigate what the Bible says about the "end times."
