Though Russell seems to have claimed that the idea of the second coming's past fulfillment came to him by revelation, it seems more likely that he was keenly aware of eminent Hebrew scholar Samuel Lee's preterist system of interpretation. Their professional lives overlapped by at least five years, and while pastoring in Great Yarmouth, Russell would have been only two score miles away from the famous Lee at Cambridge. This direct influence is even more likely given the earlier connection between the two, with Russell attending Chestnut College in Samuel Lee's home district of Hertfordshire. Considering how similar James' approach eventually came to Samuel's (stopping short of Lee's fully preterist system in favor of a partially preterist one), it is quite likely that he was a close observer of Lee, if not an actual apprentice of some sort. - Todd Dennis, 4 November 2006
