Milton Spenser Terry (February 22, 1840 – July 13, 1914) was an American theologian and minister.
Terry was born in Coeymans, New York and was educated at the New York Conference Seminary in Charlotteville, New York and Yale Divinity School.[1] He served as a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1863 to 1884 before he became Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at Garrett Biblical Institute. He became Professor of Christian Doctrine in 1897, and stayed in that position until his death in 1914.[1]
Terry was a prolific writer, and wrote commentaries on Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Daniel, and Revelation. He also wrote a book on Shintoism and translated the Sibylline Oracles.[2] His magnum opus was a trilogy consisting of Biblical Hermeneutics (1883), Biblical Apocalyptics (1898), and Biblical Dogmatics (1907).[3] Robert L. Thomas suggests that Biblical Hermeneutics was "viewed as the standard work on biblical hermeneutics for most of the twentieth century."[4]
Terry was an advocate of postmillennialism[5] and preterism.[3]

Preterism is a Christian eschatological view or belief that interprets some (partial preterism) or all (full preterism) prophecies of the Bible as events which have already been fulfilled in history. This school of thought interprets the Book of Daniel as referring to events that happened from the seventh century BC until the first century AD, while seeing the prophecies of the Book of Revelation, as well as Christ's predictions within the Olivet Discourse, as events that happened in the first century AD. Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The term preterism comes from the Latin praeter, which is a prefix denoting that something is 'past' or 'beyond'. Adherents of preterism are known as preterists. Preterism teaches that either all (full preterism) or a majority (partial preterism) of the Olivet Discourse had come to pass by AD 70. Historically, preterists and non-preterists have generally agreed that the Jesuit Luis de Alcasar (1554–1613) wrote the first systematic preterist exposition of prophecy Vestigatio arcani sensus in Apocalypsi, published during the Counter-Reformation. Partial preterism is common in amillennial and postmillennial circles.
The Rapture is an eschatological (end-times) concept held by some Christians, particularly those of American evangelicalism, consisting of an event when all dead Christian believers will be resurrected and, joined with Christians who are still alive, together will rise "in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air." Many different timelines have been asserted that tie to ideas of a seven-year Great Tribulation: pretribulation, midtribulation, prewrath, and posttribulation raptures; and to a thousand-year age of Messianic rule: millennialism, premillennialism, postmillennialism, amillennialism, and preterism. The origin of the term extends from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians in the Bible, which uses the Greek word harpazo (Ancient Greek: ἁρπάζω), meaning "to snatch away" or "to seize". The idea of a rapture as it is defined in dispensational premillennialism is not found in historic Christianity and is a relatively recent doctrine originating from the 1830s. Most Christian denominations, and the numerically largest, do not subscribe to rapture theology and have a different interpretation of the aerial gathering described in 1 Thessalonians 4. They do not use rapture as a specific theological term, nor do they generally subscribe to the dispensational theology associated with its use. Instead they typically interpret rapture in the sense of the elect gathering with Christ in Heaven directly after the Second Coming and reject outright the idea that a large portion of humanity will be left behind on Earth for an extended tribulation period after the events of 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
Futurism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets portions of the Book of Revelation and other apocalyptic sections of the Bible as future "end-time" events. By comparison, other Christian eschatological views interpret these passages as past events in a symbolic, historic context, such as preterism and historicism, or as present-day events in a non-literal and spiritual context, as in idealism. Futurist beliefs usually have a close association with premillennialism and dispensationalism. Historic premillennialism combines futurist and preterist views.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
