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:

神聖的歷史大綱蝕刻在時間上，並在神的話語中得到解釋。

神將祂對人類的計劃展現為一系列的歷史時代。獨特的特徵將每個時期識別為一個分明神聖恩典的行政或“歷史段落”。神自己永遠不會改變。祂的連續歷史段落達到了祂不變的目的，在每個人的情況下揭示祂自己和祂完美的榮耀。

這本書給耶穌基督投射出戲劇性的光芒，衪是人類歷史的焦點。聖經給當前的時代，即教會時代，的命令澄清基督徒在歷史中的角色和他榮耀基督的獨特機會。
