Synopsis of the Books of the Bible

Synopsis of the Books of the Bible by John Nelson Darby, was published between 1857-1862. The author was an Anglo-Irish evangelist, and a founder and prominent member of the Evangelical Christian Plymouth Brethren. Considered the father of Dispensationalism, an evangelical theology which divides history into periods with evolving divine covenants, many of Darby's successors also believe that the final dispensation has yet to occur, and will involve the rapture into heaven of believers prior to the 'tribulations.' Darby's Bible commentary had a lot of influence on the evangelical movement during the 19th and 20th century.
