Practica Prophetica

This collection of various series’ of articles from E. J. Waggoner are on the theme of Law and the Gospel. Formerly titled, “Under the Law,” this book has doubled in size, with the addition of a few more series of articles that fit with the theme.

The articles were all written to show the essential role of the Law in the work of the Gospel, and to explain those texts most commonly misused to war against obedience to the law, supposedly in the name of grace.

Phrases such as “under the law,” and “works of the law” are used by many modern Christians to excuse themselves from rendering strict obedience to the Law of God. Especially do they wish to avoid the Sabbath commandment, and so, discarding the whole law is an easy way to accomplish that.

But Waggoner shows in these dissertations, that such a view is contrary to the real meaning of Scripture, and that such a false view ends up throwing away the ministry of the Law as a God-given agency to lead to the knowledge of sin, repentance, and salvation. By discarding the Law, men are discarding Salvation also, whether they realize it or not. 389p
