Autor

An advocate of gap creationism, Rev. Clarence Larkin (1850-1924) was an American Baptist pastor, Bible teacher, and author whose writings on dispensationalism had a great impact on conservative Protestant visual culture in the twentieth century. His intricate and influential charts provided readers with a visual strategy for mapping God's action in history and interpreting complex biblical prophecies. Larkin's study of the Scriptures led him to adopt many of the tenets of the premillennialist theology that was gaining favor in conservative Protestant circles in the Gilded Age. After World War I broke out, God laid it on his heart to prepare a work on dispensational truth. Larkin spent three years of his life designing and drawing charts and preparing the text for his seminal work, Dispensational Truth. The book became a bestseller around the world. During the last five years of his life, Larkin gave up his pastorate and wrote full time. He initially envisioned Rightly Dividing the Word as "an ABC book" to introduce Dispensational Truth, but after writing and condensing several times, he felt led to abandon that idea. Instead, Larkin aimed to write about the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith in a clear, concise manner that was accessible to the average reader.
