Through the Bible

...

Foreword

From January 1903 to April 1909, A. T. Jones regularly contributed articles to The Medical Missionary periodical. This was published in Battle Creek, and was, I believe, a publication of the Sanitarium run by John Harvey Kellogg.

This series was written in 1908. It seems to have been designed with the intent of going through the whole Bible, but it ends, incomplete, at study 21.

In this exposition of the first 8 chapters of Genesis, Jones reiterates some of the themes from the everlasting gospel, which he was so familiar with, and fond of: the creative word, the history of nations, the failure of God's people to realize the fullness of His promises, God's grace and mercy stretched out still, the spiritual rest of the Sabbath day, and so on.

Unique to this series of studies, and found nowhere else in the writings of A. T. Jones, or his companion, E. J. Waggoner, is a short consideration of the "everlasting covenant" with Noah (see the two last chapters on "The Rainbow and Its Meaning.")

The articles in this book represent some of the last writings we have from the pen of A. T. Jones. One other series, Religious Liberty, was written just prior to this series, and is available as a separate book. Most of the other articles by Jones, that appeared in The Medical Missionary, are included in the "Fragments" series (12 volumes that attempt to gather most of the articles from the pens of Waggoner and Jones that did not fit into a particular book). These are all available from practicaprophetica.com.

The last official book that we have from the pen of A.T. Jones is The Reformation: 14th to 16th Century. This was published in 1913, and is also available on our website.
