Come on. Show some respect. Most likely the preterists on this forum have read those books and can explain it in a shorter fashion. This way one does not need to read 'hundreds of books' written by experts.
For me I would not even bother reading one of these books, due to the fact that full-preterism denies a future resurrection, which causes them to go outside of Orthodox Christianity, makes wild claims about world continuing as is forever, with nothing to back it up. This alone is enough for me to reject it.
Not to mention, this whole system was basically made up (to be honest, so was futurism with the way it is today, but Irenaeus also held to it) to distract the people from protestant claims of the antichrist being the man with the big hat.

So, if you really want a full grasp of what we believe and truly plan to be "open-minded," (which I doubt, based on the title of this), have at it and get back to me when you're done.

Ok - here it is - Jesus appeared, went, came back on the clouds of heaven in the days of vengeance in the 1st century AD to fulfill all that was written:
Luke 21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
Luke 21:22 because these are days of vengeance, so that ALL things which are written will be fulfilled.
Jesus said "all things", he did not say except this, or except that "which are written" - he said ALL - preterists believe his plain words.

I see indeed no respect is given. Atleast you are honest about what you are in your signature.
Everything can be explained in a short form, as Locutus already did bring up a simple point. I can explain amillennialism within 5 minutes, or in one post, or I can tell someone to "just read books about it". The books go in detail, but the overall idea can be communicated very quickly. Anyone can google books on a subject, buy them and read them.
If I decide to read a book, it is usually because someone has already explained to me something about the topic, which then causes me to look up a book about it, to learn the subject in-depth.
