Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay On The Several Dispensations Of God To Mankind, In The Order, In Which They Lie In The Bible"" is a book written by John Shute Barrington and published in 1728. The book is an exploration of the different ways in which God has interacted with humanity throughout history, as described in the Bible. Barrington examines the various ""dispensations"" or periods of time in which God has revealed himself and his will to humanity, from the creation of Adam and Eve to the coming of Christ. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular dispensation, such as the time of the patriarchs, the period of the judges, and the reign of the kings of Israel. Barrington provides a detailed analysis of the events and characters of each dispensation, drawing on both biblical texts and historical context to shed light on the ways in which God has worked in human history. Throughout the book, Barrington emphasizes the importance of understanding these dispensations as a way of understanding God's ultimate plan for humanity. He argues that each dispensation builds on the previous one, leading ultimately to the coming of Christ and the establishment of the Christian church. Overall, ""An Essay On The Several Dispensations Of God To Mankind, In The Order, In Which They Lie In The Bible"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the ways in which God has revealed himself to humanity throughout history.
