The Times of the Gentiles
Overview
This book, The Times of the Gentiles, written by Brother Gingrich, deals with a remarkable portion of the prophetic teaching of Scripture, Daniel, chapters 2 and 7, a portion which challenges us today to live in submission to the mighty God by whose will the world’s empires rise and fall. The Times of the Gentiles joins the host of other books from the pen of Mr. Gingrich. Like them, it combines the author’s warm love of God and the Scriptures with his simple style of communication to make this book a book which any Christian can understand and from which he can receive profit.

Roy Gingrich was an American pastor and author best known for his comprehensive commentary series. He was born to Arthur and Arista Gingrich on February 3, 1920 in Ozark, Illinois, the youngest of four children. Roy received God’s call to enter the Christian ministry in 1941. After intensive preparation and pastoral stints in Illinois and Indiana, he became pastor of Faith Bible Church in Memphis, Tennessee, where he remained for over 40 years.
In 1963, Gingrich graduated cum laude from Victory University (formally Mid-South Bible College) and soon thereafter joined the teaching staff. Gingrich began writing conservative Bible commentaries in 1964. Roy Gingrich’s Commentaries in Outline Form (100 vols.) includes 60 different commentaries on the books of the Bible, and 40 additional commentaries on major Bible themes.
In 2001, Dr. Gingrich retired from a long and fruitful ministry, but continued to revise his commentaries and lecture at colleges and churches in the US. In 2003, he was inducted into the Crichton College Hall of Fame.
