Product Description

"The Author started to prepare an 'A B C' book to introduce his larger Work on 'Dispensational Truth,' but after writing and condensing several times he felt led to abandon that idea and to prepare a book on 'Rightly Dividing the Word,' in which the 'Fundamental Doctrines' should be 'Rightly Divided' in a series of contrasts. The 'Fundamental Doctrines' of the Christian Faith are clearly outlined in numerous books on Theology, but they are not available to the average reader and were mainly written for students. The Author has made it the work of his ministry to preach the 'Fundamental Doctrines.' To this end he has aimed to express them in the simplest and clearest manner possible."-From the Foreword.

From the Publisher

From the Back Cover
The Reverend Clarence Larkin was one of the most widely influential Christian fundamentalists of the early twentieth century, and his writings remain key to appreciating the conservative religious thought that today enjoys widespread popularity.

This 1920 work outlines the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as revealed by the Bible, from "The Mystery of Godliness" to "Election and Free-will." Numerous charts and illustrations explain "The Five Great World-Wide Kingdoms," "The Threefold Nature of Man," "The Satanic Trinity," and more.

Also available from Cosimo Classics: Larkin's The Spirit World, The Second Coming of Christ, and The Book of Revelation.

Customer Reviews

Rightly Dividing the Word
If you are a student of God's Word, then you need to purchase this book. It is an easy book to read, and one that every student needs. It has topics like Atonement, Faith,Dispensation and Ages, the Antichrist, The Church, the Jews. It is filled with information on these topics, and is filled with scripture. If you like Dispensationism, or if you aren't a follower of this type of study, you will learn a lot from Clarence Larkin's "Rightly Dividing the Truth".

Truly God Inspired
Rev. Clarence Larkin dedicated his book "To the 'Divine Interpreter' the Holy Spirit who through the years has been my teacher and helper..." Rightly so. From that point on, you'll read, or rather, experience the most enlightening book on scripture ever written.

WOW - What A Book!
This book is an excellent book to read in addition to the Bible. If you have some knowledge of the Bible you will find this book offers some additional insight that is not in other commentaries. This author is an inspiration to me to dig deeper in the word of God. Because it is written in 1929 do not let that cause you to think it is old school and outdated. It is not! I am still reading it as it is too much information to ingest in a couple days. The book starts off with an explanation that the Bible was written "for all classes of people and for our learning" and the Bible is not addressed to all people in general. Part of the Bible is to addressed to the Jews, Gentiles and to the Church which consititute the three classes. Mr. Larkin gives his explanation of the ages and dispensations. He continues on to explain the age of the earth that in Gen 1:3-31 was the restoration of the earth to its original condition before it was made "formless and void" and submerged in water and darkness and how there is millenniums of time that science may require for the formation of the earth as a planet. His teachings throughout the book are thought-provoking and shed some light on questions I have had such as election and free-will, Heaven and Hell, Judiaism and Christianity. It is 328 pages of Biblical explanations and charts. I definitely find this a must read.
