Sinopsis

Clear, principled guidance on interpreting biblical prophecy

This concise work argues for a plain-language approach to Scripture, urging readers to follow established, language-based rules rather than speculative fancy. It explains why most readers should expect the times and symbols in Daniel and Revelation to be understood in their ordinary sense, and it traces the historical influence of popular but controversial methods. This edition presents the author’s aim to keep interpretation honest and consistent with common sense, offering a framework that highlights language, logic, and the natural way people understand time designations in prophecy. It also situates the discussion in a broader historical debate about how prophecy has been explained by English- and American-language scholars.

  • How to distinguish plain readings from speculative or allegorical interpretations
  • Why symbolic time designations are debated and how the author grounds his view
  • Arguments about the origins and influence of popular prophetic methods
  • Guidance on evaluating interpretations with language-based hermeneutics
Ideal for readers of theology and biblical interpretation who want a thoughtful, conservative take on prophecy and its proper rules of understanding.

Ideal for readers seeking a sober, method-focused look at prophecy and its interpretation.

Excerpt from Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy

Particularly have such charges been made against the prophecies. These have been compared to the ambiguous vaticinations of the heathen oracles, and pronounced to be deserving of merely the same credit which is given to them by enlightened minds.

Excerpt from Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy

No apology is necessary for engaging in the investigation of the subjects, which are briefly treated of in the following sheets. These matters are of deep interest to every inquiring Christian; and the character of the Scriptures, in the view of the world, is in no small degree concerned with them. Unbelievers reproach us with giving credit to a book which is full of enigmas, and allege that every one interprets it according to his own fancy, and so as to support his own particular opinions. Nor is this all. They even charge ambiguity upon the Scriptures themselves; and they are apparently moved to do this, by the ever varying, discrepant, and sometimes even opposite conclusions of expositors. No book, they say, which is plainly and honestly written, could possibly afford room for such diversity of opinion.

Particularly have such charges been made against the prophecies. These have been compared to the ambiguous vaticinations of the heathen oracles, and pronounced to be deserving of merely the same credit which is given to them by enlightened minds.
