Prophecy: viewed in respect to its distinctive nature, its...
“theology has been peculiarly affected by the spirit of the age; and a mode of treatment is now required for the several topics it embraces… Such especially is the case in respect to the subject of prophecy… since objections are laid by the opponents of corrupters of the truth against the argument from prophecy, less on the ground of an alleged weakness in the argument itself… than by attempting to extract the element of… prophecy from Scripture… Contemporaneously… modes of interpretation, views founded on them, have been gaining currency among many students of Scripture, which, if valid, would deprive the argument from prophecy of some of its most important defences…. It is here peculiarly, that this portion of our theological literature has been defective and unsatisfactory. With the view of contributing to supply this defect… the present volume has been composed. Hence, nearly one half of the volume is devoted to the investigation of the principles of the subject… The latter half, which treats of definite portions of the prophetical Scriptures… is conducted strictly as an application of the principles set forth and maintained in the earlier.”
