The prophetic passages of the Bible demand a whole-Scripture approach in order to produce useful study results. Vital Prophetic Issues: Examining Promises and Problems in Eschatology makes available to the reader exactly this, applied by some of the best evangelical writers of our time.
Some included chapters are:
“For this reason, most amillenarians trace their view to Augustine (354–430), the famous bishop of Hippo in North Africa. Augustine was the father of amillennialism because he discarded the allegorical system of interpretation of the Bible as a whole as advanced by the school at Alexandria in favor of limiting allegorical interpretation to prophetic Scriptures only.” (Page 17)
“Among conservatives who regard the Bible as authoritative in prophecy as in history, a more serious attempt is made to try to determine what the Bible actually reveals. Here the diversity is not based on the premise that the Bible in some respects is untrue; instead, the difficulty arises in various schools of interpretation.” (Page 14)
“Roberts is right when he says that dispensationalism is an interpretation of history” (Page 23)
