GOD’S PROGRAM OF THE AGES by Frederick A. Tatford
The title may lead some to think that this book deals only with the dis pensations, but actually it is a manual on Biblical prophecy. Its fourteen chapters include the major elements of prophetic study: Israel, Daniel’s seventy weeks, the church, the judg ment seat of Christ, and of course the second advent and the millenni um. A final chapter deals with "The Divine Plan.” Tatford accepts pretty generally the scheme of the dispensations as set forth in the Scofield Reference Bi ble, although he has his own termin ology : The Period of Innocence, The Rule of Conscience, The Discipline of Government, etc. Of course, the restoration of Israel and their estab lishment in the land promised to Abraham are accepted literally. He accepts the gap, or hiatus, doctrine as held by Drs. Ironside and Chafer, and which the latter taught should be better called an intercalation. He equates “ Babylon” in the Revelation with the false church, linked with Rome, but extending beyond that body, and including a great com mercial system, apparently connected with it. The author has condensed a great deal of teaching into each chapter, and one might wish more expansion in places, but the book becomes a good manual for the layman and Bi ble student. There is an extensive bibliography. Dr. Tatford has had a long ministry on both sides of the Atlantic. He is editor of The Har vester and The Prophetic Witness and has served as an official of a number of evangelical organizations in England. — 160 pages; cloth or paper; Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids; $3.50 or $1.95.
