Gentry like others of the reconstructionist movement is a master in using words to take his readers back to the future, i.e., in creating virtual reality that has and will render many incapable of distinguishing it from reality itself.
Then Gentry has a lengthy discussion of the silence of the rest of the NT regarding the destruction of Jerusalem, [63] during which he apparently accepts dates prior to 70 for all four gospels, including the Gospel of John, and the rest of the NT canon.
Gentry responds to this problem by suggesting that Laodicea's wealth was spiritual and not material, by supposing the possibility of a quick rebuilding, and by theorizing that the quake did not impact the sector of the city where the Christians were.

Gentry states that a second major argument for "infant" participation, is that the "all the congregation of Israel" which was to keep Passover (Exodus 12:47) included children and even nursing infants.
Gentry states, "The paedocommunionist says the Passover was performed originally in the home with the children present, therefore we expect that the children partook." They point to Exodus 12:26 where the children are supposed to inquire about the meaning of Passover.

 Kenneth Gentry's Defense of Medieval Error   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Kenneth Gentry, who has written some fine books, has permitted his analysis of "hyper-preterism" to be published over the Internet.
Gentry's article is designed to keep those who have not experienced a "paradigm shift" from looking at Biblical data in a way that will prompt such a change.
Gentry wants to emphasize the "tangible, physical" nature of the resurrected body, yet angels (v.25) are not easily described in this way.

 Christ's Resurrection and Ours |  Partial Preterism
Gentry certainly (by all of his books on the subject) believes the “end of the age” came in A.D. 70 but somehow Gentry thinks there is yet ANOTHER end.
Kenneth Gentry writes what he believes is the incontrovertible proof of the resurrection of the physical body and consequently the refutation of what he calls “hyper-Preterism.
Gentry and all his cheerleaders should well note that we are not arguing for some non-material existence of man. Paul says those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

 Who's Who of Prophecy - Kenneth Gentry
Gentry believes that the fundamental nature of this kingdom we now live in is spiritual rather than physical and that Christ reigns mediatorially through His people.
Dr. Gentry’s presentation of the lexical evidence is skewed and thus his conclusions are faulty in his effort to support a preterist interpretation of the táchos word family.
Gentry must either adopt a view similar to futurism or shift to the extreme preterist view that understands the entire book of Revelation as past history and thus eliminating any future second coming and resurrection.

 Review: Gentry's "He Shall Have Dominion"
Gentry, on page 17 of his book, lumps together amillennialism, premillennialism, and dispensationalism under a category he calls “eschatological pessimism.” He then makes three statements about this category which are, in my opinion, the height of triumphalism.
Gentry and others seem to set forth an “either/or” scheme of Christian cultural involvement that places Christians on the horns of a false dilemma.
In spite of Dr. Gentry's claim that he does not take his opponents' statements out of their proper context, [2] he very clearly does so with respect to David J. Engelsma on page 23.

 Issue and Interchange   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Gentry argues for what he calls the moderationist view which is that the Bible allows the partaking of alcoholic beverages in moderation and with circumspection.
Gentry writes that the non-moderationist argument may distort the doctrine of Christ “in that any universal censure of something Jesus did distracts from His holiness.” In fact, it is the people who say Jesus drank alcoholic beverages and created alcoholic wine in large quantity who make Jesus an object of scorn.
Gentry, I must begin by stating that I must insist that the debate should be decided on the basis of the Bible, the Word of God revealed in the original languages in which God chose to make Himself and His plan for mankind known to our finite minds.

 [No title]
As in this book Gentry utilizes his belief that there is a change in subject in the Olivet Discourse beginning with Matthew 24:36 in order to provide a defense against one objection, and also relates 2 Peter 3 to the Second Coming, which again, most other preterist scholars disagree with him on.
Gentry is much spunkier in his defense in his preface than in the rest of the material written almost ten years earlier and is quite enjoyable.
Gentry brings forth all of the available historical evidence, pro and con, and interacts with it in a very thoughtful and well-documented manner.

We saw earlier that preterists like Dr. Kenneth Gentry believe that the reference to the sun in this passage is not to the literal, physical sun, but merely a symbol for something that occurred in the first century.
Gentry understands a number of similar, yet smaller in scale, incidents of biblical history to be literal.
Dr. Gentry declares: "Isaiah 13 speaks of remarkably similar events accompanying Babylon's collapse in the Old Testament era."[6] He is correct that Matthew 24:29 refers to Isaiah 13:10, something recognized by all commentators.

 Eschatology
Kenneth Gentry has rightly defended literal six day creation as being a necessary tenet of full subscription to the Westminster Confession of Faith, against the protest of those who would argue the "little" phrase "in the space of six days" should not carry so much weight.
Gentry writes: "it should be understood that the number 666 is itself applied to a particular individual king in that kingdom (Rev. 13:18)".
But Dr. Gentry wrote: "passages specifically delimiting the time-frame by temporal indicators (such as "this generation," "shortly," "at hand," "near," and similar wording) are to be applied to A. 70." It is both a naive and dangerous assumption to believe that any word is necessarily used in a uniform manner, without considering its context.

 Before Jerusalem Fell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Characteristic of the work is a careful exegesis of critical passages, a diligent survey of the scholarly literature on Revelation, and a meticulous search through the writing of early church fathers and Jewish and Roman historians.
The evidence may be garnered from Revelation's self-witness and from church tradition that John wrote Revelation prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, which occurred in August, A.D. 70, rather than in A.D. 95-96, as many scholars believe.
Gentry convincingly argues for a date around A.D. 65 or 66, after the outbreak of the Neronic persecution and before the death of Nero Caesar.

He shows (at least in his view and most preterists would agree with Ice against Gentry) that Gentry is inconsistent on this point because the "that" in "that day" (Matthew 24:36) refers back to the events preceding Matthew 24:34.
To then take his own assertion that Gentry is wrong on "that day" as an agreed fact between the two and conclude that Gentry would then agree that there is no significance to the fact that Jesus said "this generation" rather than "that generation" is blatantly misrepresenting Gentry and a naked bait and switch.
While Gentry certainly gives the impression of the same level of scholarship, he is admittedly in the minority, and the deck is stacked against him.

 Split Decision Harden
Gentry's split here is purely arbitrary, for nowhere in the first half does it say that man can know the hour or day of the 70 AD Parousia of Christ, it merely affirms that the signs would be clear enough.
Gentry correctly places the "Son of Man coming in glory with his angels" in Matt 16:27-28 and Matt 24:29-31 at the destruction of Jerusalem, and places all other references to the "weeping and gnashing of teeth" there as well.
Gentry concedes readily that the Olivet Discourse is of the same pattern and type as the Old Testament prophecies, which often included apocalyptic cosmic imagery as its apocalyptic judgment language.

This is where Dr. Gentry presents the evidence for Nero’s being the Beast in the book of Revelation.
Gentry concludes by placing the evidence allegedly supporting a Domitianic date under intense scrutiny and criticism.

 Working Dogs Book Store - God Gave Wine: What the Bible Says About Alcohol (Kenneth L., Jr. Gentry)
Gentry is a moderationist (i.e., he believes the Bible approves of the moderate consumption of wine) and does not seek to press an agenda for Christians (in fact, he himself does not drink because of medical problems).
Moreover, the case Gentry presents is both convincing and responsible, and the section on Christian liberty provides an some good help for the natural questions that arise in the heart of the sensitive believer who wants neither to offend his weaker brother nor to ignore God's good gifts.
Gentry seeks what all the Bible, "the whole counsel of God" says rather than just one or two verses which justify a subjective position.

Gentry's defense of the progressive victory of Christ through His Church (imperfect through it may be) is truly beautiful.
The late Dr. Greg Bahnsen along with co-author Dr. Kenneth Gentry do a masterful job of interacting with leading dispensational critics of theonomy and demonstate their extremely slanderous writings.
Bahnsen and Gentry demonstrate how postmillenialism is NOT some utopian materialistic option but is one based on a proper view of GOD's soveriegn rule over history and how this will eventually be seen in culture.
