The Prophecies of Daniel and John, Illustrated by the Events of History

Baptist minister Isaac Taylor Hinton illustrates a historicist view of how the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation are representative of five empires: the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Catholic Church, and the true church. Hinton attempts to remain faithful to Scripture, while avoiding the superstition that pervaded the church regarding prophecy in the nineteenth century. He also summarizes the views of other nineteenth-century scholars, providing a glimpse into the landscape of biblical studies at the time.
