The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, vol. 4

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: Raising Up the Foundations of Many Generations

In the remaining chapters we return to our tracing of the progressive development of prophetic exposition among the founding fathers of the early Sabbatarian Adventists. We will close this two-thousand year survey of prophetic interpretation with a summarization of the expositional platform developed between 1844 and 1875. These earnest men sought to build wisely by gathering up and bringing together in systematic form a harmony of the prophecies, based upon the sound and established truths of interpretation developed by reverent scholars over the course of centuries/These general positions will then be broken down into the individual expositions of some of their leading expositors. First, we list the guiding principles under which they proceeded, and the resultant platform. PFF4 1049.1
