I've recently encountered the claim from a full preterist that...
> It is well established by their own writings and history that the Apostles and the earliest church fathers like Eusebius, Athanasius, and Clement all held a Preterist theology. They understood that the fall of Jerusalem was the end and fulfillment of all scripture, as it says in Luke.
However I've been unable to independently verify this claim. Unless this person is avoiding saying "full preterist theology" as a kind of safeguard.
Regardless of the reason, the question is as written in the title. Were any church fathers (or other such as heretics, apostates, etc) full preterists?
