As America’s Second Great Awakening swept through the nineteenth century, it left in its wake a heightened sense of anticipation for the Second Coming of Christ in the new millennium. Stepping onto this fertile soil, Charles Taze Russell founded the Bible Student Movement—out of which eventually grew the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Select Works of Charles Taze Russell brings together the foundational writings of this charismatic pastor, opening a window into the beginnings of Jehovah’s Witness belief.
This collection includes his earliest publications, later expanded into a seven-volume series known first as Millennial Dawn and then changed to Studies in the Scriptures. Originally intended as a Bible study aid, Millennial Dawn presents Russell’s interpretation of Scripture and its relation to God’s plan. Also included is the companion volume to Russell’s ambitious worldwide film presentation, Photo-Drama of Creation.
