WORKS ON PROPHECY
[Volumes upon this subject are so extremely numerous
and so varied in their opinions that we confine ourselves to the few which
follow. The reader is also referred to works upon the Apocalypse.]
703. DAVISON (JOHN, B.D.
1777-1834). Discourses on
Prophecy; its Structure, Use, and Inspiration. [Warburtonian Lectures.] 8vo. Oxf, 1845. S. 5/6.
Elliott calls this "Davison's noble Work on Prophecy." This is one of
the Warburtonian lectures, and we would here note that those lectures are
all upon prophecy, and are many of them by first-class men, and therefore
worthy of study. Of course they greatly vary in value according, to the
ability of the lecturers.

704. FABER (GEORGE STANLEY, B.D. 1773—1854). Calendar of
Prophecy, or a Dissertation on the Prophecies which treat of the Seven
Times, and especially of the latter Three Times and a Half. 3 vols., 8vo. Lond., 1828. 7/6. 12mo. editions,
3/6.
Faber is one of the great
rabbis of prophecy. He was a man of almost boundless learning and industry.
His characteristics are said to have been "strong masculine sense,
extensive classical erudition, and a
hearty love of hypothesis." This last quality, no doubt,
led him to expound prophecy, and also disqualified him for doing it well.

705. FAIRBAIRN (PATRICK,
D.D.) Prophecy: its Distinctive Nature, Special Functions, and Proper
Interpretation. 8vo. 10/6. Edinb.,
T. & T. Clark. 1856. S. 5/6.
A standard work by one who is at/wine
with the subject.
706. FLEMING (ROBERT. 1630—1694). The Fulfilling of the
Scripture. Fifth edition. Folio. Lond.,
1726, 5/6; 2 vols., 8vo., 1801, 3/6; 2 vols., 12mo., 1845, 3/-
This we mention because it is generally placed under this head, but it is
not an exposition of prophecy at all. It is an elaborate treatise upon the
fact that the Scriptures are fulfilled, and the word of the Lord is true.
As such it deserves the high encomiums so freely showered upon it by the
eminent divines of Fleming's
own time, and it abundantly justifies the issue of so many editions.
707. HENGSTENBERG (E. W.) The
Messianic Prophecies of Isaiah and the other Prophets.
These remarks are contained in
Hengstenberg's Christology, which is a standard work on the subject.
(See No. 67.)

708. KEITH (ALEXANDER,
D.D.) Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion, derived from the
literal Fulfilment of Prophecy; as illustrated by the History of the Jews,
and by the Discoveries of recent Travellers. Thirty-sixth edition. Thick
8vo. 1848. S. 4/- to 6/-
Horne says. "The multiplied
editions which have been required within a very few years sufficiently attest the high estimation in
which Mr. Keith's work is deservedly held"; and we may add that the
improvements and additions have increased its value, and that fresh
editions have shown that it is still appreciated.

709.
NEWTON (THOMAS, D.D., Bp. of
Bristol. 1704—1782). Dissertations on the Prophecies
which have been fulfilled, and are fulfilling. Numerous editions. 2 and 3
vols., 8vo. Also, 1 vol., 8vo., 7/6.
Lond., W. Tegg.
A standard work of a laborious and
learned author; rather laborious reading. The Bishop must not be trusted
upon the New Testament prophecy. Theologically his standing is very
dubious.
