Practica Prophetica

This is an extensive, theological work by the father of E. J. Waggoner: advent pioneer J. H. Waggoner.

One of the main thoughts of this work is to show the centrality of the Law in God’s system of moral justice, and in the work of atonement for sin. The author shows the numerous errors that develop when the Law of God is excluded from the work of the Gospel. The author states:

There are no isolated, independent truths in the great plan of salvation. It takes all the truths and doctrines of the Bible to make one complete system; and the Atonement is the great central work, by virtue of which all other parts of the work of salvation and redemption are carried out.

There are chapters at the end covering “the Judgment,” “The Scape-Goat,” “The Kingdom of Christ,” and the final redemption of the Earth, thus showing that the Atonement involves much more than just the individual salvation of sinners. 323p
