About Kenneth Gentry

Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., Th.D., is a theological researcher and writer, conference speaker, and retired Presbyterian pastor (after 37 years of pastoral ministry).

This Site

This site offers "Serious Studies for Serious Christians" in a broad range of theological and exegetical issues from a Reformed theological perspective. Some of the key issues for which I have educational materials include: Calvinism, reformed theology, Presbyterianism, eschatology in general, postmillennialism, preterism, the Book of Revelation, theonomy, six-day creation, presuppositionalism, predestination, lordship salvation, infant baptism, the Christian worldview, Christian education, the Christian and alcohol, and more.

Christian Research

I have produced in-depth materials critiquing and rebutting dispensationalism, Hyper-preterism, the framework hypothesis, paedocommunion, exclusive psalmody, annihilationism, and other popular theological abberations.

Because of my interest in promoting the Christian worldview, I also offer a Christian writing correspondence course: "Righteous Writing." This course is designed to train you in reading techniques, research method, improving writing style, securing a publisher, and techniques of book promotion. Writing well can be an important means of promoting the faith in the marketplace of ideas.

Academic Training

I am a graduate of Tennessee Temple University (B.A., cum laude, in Biblical Studies), Reformed Theological Seminary (M. Div.), Whitefield Theological Seminary (Th. M.; Th. D., summa cum laude, in New Testament). I also attended Grace Theological Seminary for two years, while a dispensationalist.

Current Service

I am the Director of GoodBirth Ministries, a non-profit religious educational ministry committed to sponsoring, subsidizing, and advancing serious Christian scholarship and education. For more information on his conference and research ministry please see the GoodBirth Ministries website. You will also find some helpful eschatological questions answered under the page titled "Questions & Answers."

I am a retired minister, holding my ordination vows in the Reformed Presbyterian Church, General Assembly. I am a member of the Westminster Presbytery of the RPCGA.

Publishing History

I have published scores of articles in various periodicals including: Tabletalk, the Chalcedon Report, Westminster Theological Journal, The Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society, Criswell Theological Journal, Christianity Today, Christianity & Society, The Banner of Truth, The Presbyterian Journal, Contra Mundum, Christian Statesman, Evangelical Beacon, Ordained Servant, The Fundamentalist Journal, Pulpit Helps, The PCA Messenger, The Freeman, and Antithesis.

I have written several books on eschatology, including The Beast of Revelation; Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation; He Shall Have Dominion: A Postmillennial Eschatology; The Greatness of the Great Commission: The Christian Enterprise in a Fallen World, The Book of Revelation Made Easy, Olivet Discourse Made Easy, Postmillennialism Made Easy, The Truth about Postmillennialism, and Have We Missed the Second Coming: A Critique of the Hyper-preterist Error.

In April 2024 my two volume, 1800 page commentary on Revelation is scheduled to be released by Tolle Lege Press and The Chalcedon Foundation. It is titled The Divorce of Israel: A Redemptive-Historical Interpretation of the Book of Revelation, offering an orthodox-preterist interpretation of this majestic book. It is the result of over 15 years of research and writing on Revelation.

I am the editor and a contributor to Thine Is the Kingdom: Studies in the Postmillennial Hope. This includes articles from older writers such as B. B. Warfield and J. A. Alexander, as well as contemporary writers Keith A. Mathison, William O. Einwechter, and Jeffrey Ventrella. I also co-edited an updated version of Milton S. Terry's, The Apocalypse.

I am a contributor to three eschatological debate books, two from Zondervan and one by Kregel: C. Marvin Pate, ed., Four Views of the Book of Revelation (Zondervan); Darrell L. Bock, ed., Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond (Zondervan); and Thomas D. Ice and Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr., The Great Tribulation: Past or Future? (Kregel). I have contributed a chapter to Keith L. Mathison, ed., When Shall These Things Be? A Reformed Response to Hyper-Preterism (P & R).

I have also written other books on a variety of subjects, including Six-day Creation (As It Is Written: The Genesis Account: Literal or Literary?), abortion (The Christian Case Against Abortion), the Christian view of wine drinking (God Gave Wine), salvation (Lord of the Saved: Getting to the Heart of the Lordship Debate; and The Truth about Salvation), biblical law (God's Law Made Easy; and Covenantal Theonomy), predestination (Predestination Made Easy), politics (Political Issues Made Easy), as well as a composite work on a variety of subjects important to Presbyterians (Nourishment from the Word: Studies in Reformed Theology).

I also have several lecture videos available for sale on this site, most of them dealing with eschatological issues.

Conference and Internet Ministry

I lecture widely, having been a featured speaker in over 100 conferences throughout America, in the Caribbean, and Australia. I am available for conference engagements. I may be contacted at: KennethGentry@cs.com.

Blog Site

My blogsite PostmillennialWorldview deals mainly with eschatological issues, as well as various aspects of the biblical worldview and news relevant to the modern Christian. I post two articles on week on this site, on Tuesday and Friday.

Personal Life

My wife and I have been married since 1971. We are both from Tennessee (I am from Chattanooga and she is from Nashville). Consequently, we speak the King's English, because we are from Tennessee where Elvis was from. We have three grown, married children, who are all conservative, Reformed Christians. We also have six grandchildren -- three of whom are left handed (but we are not talking about that).
