The Interpretation of Prophecy

About this book

There is hardly a book in the Bible which does not contain prophecy. Sooner or later therefore every reader of the Bible finds himself asking this question: How is prophecy to be interpreted? While most Christians know something about the teachings of Bible prophecy only a handful are acquainted with the principles and procedures under which prophecy is interpreted. This is unfortunate for interpretation (or hermeneutics) is foundational and should be settled first. Moreover books on the interpretation of prophecy usually range from the moderately nonliteral to the extremely allegorical. The need exists for an extended work which sets forth the case for consistent literal interpretation of prophecy. In The Interpretation of Prophecy the author has produced a well documented and highly readable text on how to interpret Bible prophecy consistently and literally. Found in this book are also a large number of illustrations applications and workable solutions to prophetic questions. This work is extremely suitable for use as a basic text in hermeneutics and prophetic studies. Pastors laymen and theological students will find the book valuable as an authoritative guide to the whole area of Bible prophecy and its interpretation.
