Many hyperpreterists like to tout David Chilton as one of their “trophies,” a very solid orthodox man who “apparently” apostasized to hyperpreterism. I put the word apparently in quotes because it isn’t quite so simple as that. There is no doubt that David Chilton was a brilliant man, and I still use his orthodox works today. After he embraced hyperpreterism, some orthodox preterists pointed that this happened right after he had a massive heart attack with potential brain damage. Hyperpreterists point to work that David Chilton did as an avowed hyperpreterist to prove that he was lucid and coherent.
Here is an email that was published publicly by hyperpreterists as part of a long set of emails from David Chilton. This particular email was from David to a Chalcedon Foundation address (it appears to be Andrew Sandlin) tragically on the very day he died.
