Synopsis of the Books of the Bible Colossians

"Read chapter-by-chapter commentary on the entire Bible along with one of the founding figures and most influential thinkers of dispensationalism" -John Darby. John Darby's Synopsis of the Books of the Bible has played a central role in the emergence of fundamentalism and the development of American Christianity. As the intellectual and theological forerunner of well-known preachers such as Dwight L. Moody and contemporary authors such as Tim LaHaye, John Darby's influence is profound. From a dispensational interpretation of the Bible, to the contemporary understanding of the rapture and the End Times, the prominent features of evangelical theology are indebted to Darby's influence. We are pleased to offer John Darby's Synopsis of the Books of the Bible, which includes Darby's chapter-by-chapter commentary of the entire Bible. These volumes contain introductions to each book of the Bible-written by Darby himself-along with overviews of important biblical themes, such as the implications of biblical prophecy and the nature of divine revelation. Darby's commentary is indispensable for personal study of the Bible, and a vital addition to the libraries of theologians, church historians, and anyone interested in the emergence of dispensationalist thought."... I literally devoured these five volumes, giving almost every spare moment to them, so that I read them in two weeks' time, and I think I am safe in saying that they opened up the Scripture in their comprehensiveness in a way that nothing else has ever touched" - H. A. Ironside."Darby left a lasting legacy for us today" - Conservative Theological Journal."To see classical dispensationalist theology at its best, one must read Darby..." - Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society."Darby was a brilliant man..." - Moody Handbook of Theology.
