Prophecy and the Church

Rating:
Summary: Questions Answered Not Enlarged
Review: O. T. Allis systematically disects the modern day hermenuetic of the end time. Logic substansiated by Biblical truth gives the reader a "normal" view of the Church according to prophecy; fulfilled and forth-coming.

If you currently want to understand the non-Dispensational interpretation of Scripture prophecy, then this book will satisfy so many outstanding, irreconcilable points left by the unsupported theory of Dispensational doctrine.

Summary: Funny what logic can do.
Review: Oswald Allis was a champion of biblical interpretation of the "end-times" and of the role of the church in the 1930's. He shows very clearly the distortions of the Bible that modern dispensationalists and the authors of the "left behind" books take for granted.

As an example of the usefulness of this book, I gave it to a confirmed dispensationalist in the mid-80's and asked her to read it and then discuss it with me. She read half of it and gave it back to me and refused to discuss it. Invincible ignorance had set in, refusing to even discuss the passages of Scripture that did not fit her Scofield-induced template of escatology. Years later she got back to me and said that she'd finally understood what Allis was saying and totally agreed.

If you'd like to know more about the end-times, Israel and the church, read this book with your Bible open. Those who do so will have their thinking challenged and appreciation of the Scriptures increased.

But I warn you--it doesn't fit the current evangelical mindset and may make you feel uncomfortable with the multitude of "Bible-teachers" who can't deal with the facts of Scripture.
