The Basis of the Premillennial Faith [Paperback]

Charles C. Ryrie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2005

Although premillennialism continues to be popular today, it is by no means a new doctrine. Rather, because of its solid foundation in Biblical truth, premillennialism has been a prominent system of interpretation throughout church history.

Dr. Ryrie begins this book by introducing systems of interpretation and their vital importance in studying prophecy. He then proceeds to trace how premillennialism has its basis in history, hermeneutics, the Abrahamic covenant, Davidic covenant, new covenant, ecclesiology, and eschatology.

Whether you are new to premillennialist teaching, or whether you are interested in a more systematic understanding of its basis in Scripture, the contents of this book will clarify, instruct, and inspire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical Defense for Inspired Prophetic Truth, February 22, 2007

By 

Frank R. Valencia (Pico Rivera, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Basis of the Premillennial Faith (Paperback)

Unfortunately many bible readers miss one of the greatest truths revealed to us by God. The return of His Son is truly worth knowing and a defense for the literal 2nd coming of Christ to a literal Israel is worth noting. Yes Jesus reigns in our hearts but He will also reign on his earth. Ryrie silences the critics with Historical truth. Historical figures, events and early beliefs which can not be altered. All we have to do is look back at History and see how the Spirit of God moved. I praise God for this book. Short but very informative.
