Who is John G. Hall?

John G. Hall has spent many years in the study of Bible Prophecy. Here's what Cordas C. Burnett, past president of Bethany Bible College in Santa Cruz, California, says:

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
II Timothy 2:15

If ever there was a man who has faithfully endeavored to fulfill this exhortation of divine truth it is the Reverend John G. Hall - author, teacher, minister, and Bible scholar par excellence. Few men have the capacity to so adequately fulfill the admonition "rightly divide" as he has done, both in his written and verbal exposition of the Holy Scripture.

It has been my privilege to share the pulpit with him in a number of camp meetings where he has ably and positively set forth his convictions on great Biblical truths encompassing such themes as the inspiration of the Word, the plan of redemption, the virgin birth of Christ, God's plan for the ages, and a pre-millenial, pre-tribulation rapture eschatology. He has been challenged by theologians, scholars, and students but has invariably defended his thesis in a manner that has made the Scriptures living and real.

His presentation of God's Eternal Program as contained in his book, while appearing as the guest lecturer under the Staley Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series at Bethany Bible College, brought an increasing attendance session after session in spite of the pressures of studies and the concomitant competition with other facets of college life. Faculty and students alike were challenged and inspired - if not awed - by his grasp and presentation of the Word of God. He left no doubt in anyone's mind as to where he stood on the great issues of the Scripture nor of their application to daily life.

Every minister, and indeed every student, shoud have a copy of this book in his library. In brief succinct chapters, Mr. Hall outlines God's dealing with His creation from before the dawn of time, portraying man's struggles from the Garden of Eden, through succeeding ages and ultimately climaxes in the golden era of a New Heaven and New Earth; leaving no doubt as to the sovereignty of God and the ultimate destinations of man. In addition to his study on dispensations so adequately presented, Mr. Hall has added chapters on evolution, eternal security, tithing, and other areas of concern to the student of God's Word.

May the Holy Spirit make the message of this book an inspiration to all who would understand the great truths of God's written and Eternal Word.
