From 1985 to 1991 Historicism offered 98 papers and six supplements. For the first six years it placed special emphasis on Dan 11. In 1991 the theme topic switched from Daniel to the book of Hebrews. And of course there were papers on Revelation to go with those on Daniel.

Ninety-three of the ninety-eight papers, and five of the supplements, that appeared in Historicism were written by Frank Hardy, so in this case "us" is me, if that makes good English. All of the other writers who supplied papers to the journal had one or more terminal degrees in either law, or medicine, or biblical studies. The one exception to this generalization was a supplement which constitutes the entire text of its author's M.A. thesis.
