An In depth analysis of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. THis book is the first and only full preterist exegesis of this text. This book interacts with the world's best scholarship-- including N. T. Wright, Scott McKnight, France, Nanos, Pitre, etc. to establish the first century fulfillment. Along the way, Preston demonstrates the fallacy of the Left Behind theology, and responds to the leading critics of the preterist movement.
