First published in 1919, The Book of Revelation is the thorough and detailed examination of one of the most mysterious parts of the Bible by American Baptist pastor and author Clarence Larkin. Well-known and influential for his writings on Dispensationalism, many of Larkin's works have been translated into dozens of languages and remain an important part of modern Protestant theology. Written near the end of his life, The Book of Revelation is the result of more than two decades of research and scholarship. Meticulously detailed, Larkin examines each of the stories in the Book of Revelation and explains the symbolic and literal meaning behind such references as the Seven Dooms, the Seven Personages, the Seven Plagues, and more. Every explanation and conclusion made is supported by direct quotes and passages from scripture so that readers may understand for themselves the basis for Larkin's assertions. This enlightening and authoritative examination of one of the most fascinating books of the Bible was widely read and discussed upon its publication. Larkin's work remains a significant source of scholarship into the meaning of the Book of Revelation for modern Christians who wish to better understand the Bible's prophesies and warnings. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
In Dispensational Truth, Clarence Larkin maps the Prophetic Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The culmination of three decades of bible study, Larkin's elaborate prophetical charts and descriptions made the literal interpretation of the Bible accessible to a vast audience and greatly influenced conservative Protestant visual culture. After the first edition of his Dispensational Truth quickly depleted, Larkin expanded his work twofold in charts and descriptive matter for the 1920 edition, which is reprinted here. This singular, exhaustive work draws on the works of figures like C. I. Scofield and John Nelson Darby and provides the definitive foundation of premillennialism.
Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) renounced his career as a draftsman to pursue a spiritual life. In 1882, he became a Baptist minister and used his drafting skills to visually interpret the eras of the Bible in accordance with premilliannialist dispensationalism.
