Chryssides, How Prophecy Succeeds: Jehovah's Witnesses and Prophetic Expectations (International Journal for the Study of New Religions, 2010)

George D. Chryssides's peer reviewed article traces how the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society's understanding of the generation that would not pass away has changed across four periods, from founder Charles Taze Russell's own era through a revised chronology adopted in 1935 to the Society's 1 November 1995 Watchtower reinterpreting the term as the contemporaneous generation of unbelievers rather than a single dateable cohort alive in 1914, arguing that the pattern reflects changing understandings of biblical chronology more than failed prediction.
