Summary of the book:

The Divine Outline of History is etched in time and explained in the Word of God.

God unfolds His plan for mankind as a sequence of historical epochs. Unique characteristics identify each period as a distinct administration or “dispensation” of divine grace. God Himself never changes. His successive dispensations achieve His unchanging purpose, revealing Himself and His perfect glory in every human situation.

This book casts a dramatic light on Jesus Christ, the focal point of human history. Biblical mandates for the current epoch, the Age of the Church, clarify the Christian’s role in history and his unique opportunity for glorifying Christ.

本文摘要:

神圣的历史大纲蚀刻在时间上，并在神的话语中得到解释。

神将祂对人类的计划展现为一系列的历史时代。独特的特征将每个时期识别为一个分明神圣恩典的行政或“历史段落”。神自己永远不会改变。祂的连续历史段落达到了祂不变的目的，在每个人的情况下揭示祂自己和祂完美的荣耀。

神这本书给耶稣基督投射出戏剧性的光芒，衪是人类历史的焦点。圣经给当前的时代，即教会时代，的命令澄清基督徒在历史中的角色和他荣耀基督的独特机会。
