DMLJ 04 Wilmot on Prophecy

This is another obscure one I guess. More here. Dr Wilmot pastored three churches in the UK, his last pastorate of 35 years being concluded in 1959 at Highgate Road Baptist Chapel. He often lectured in Toronto Baptist Seminary and preached in Jarvis Street Baptist Church at the invitations of Dr T T shields and Dr H C Slade. In 1948 the Seminary conferred on him an honrary doctorate. Formerly premillennial he later modified his position.

Inspired Principles of Prophetic Interpretation
by John Wilmot

Foreword

I was glad to hear that it was proposed to put these 'prophetic studies' by Dr. John Wilmot into permanent book form. I believe they will make a valuable contribution to such studies.

Nothing has been more gratifying during the past twenty years or so than the way in which the old dogmatic and intolerant attitude, which too frequently characterised many interested in these matters, has given way to a new spirit of humility and honest re-examination of the position.

What adds value to this study by Dr. Wilmot, over and above its inherent worth, is the fact that he himself has changed his position as the result of further study and thought. It is not merely an exposition of one particular attitude, therefore, but at the same time an appraisal of other points of view with which he has been long familiar over the years.

The reading of this book can do nothing but good because of its Scriptural character and its careful argumentation. All will not be convinced, but all should be helped and edified.
