This is a biographical study which surveys the life and career of Boston Baptist Adoniram Judson Gordon (1836-1895) and examines pre-millennialism as his motivation and source of his theological understanding. The study examines a moderate Calvinistic Baptist, tracing his theological development and analyzing his embrace of pre-millennialism and its substantial impact on his pastorate, denominational work, relationships, and enterprises. Gordon's significant role in the shaping of late nineteenth-century North American Evangelical Protestant Christianity is demonstrated in this biography.
The story of A. J. Gordon recounts an epic journey--one of faith, character, and pioneering vision.
Other colleagues were F.L. Chapell, John McElwain and a young scholar, Nathan R. Wood—a future president of the college, and author of A School of Christ, which charted the history of Gordon Bible College for several decades.
Throughout this text, A. J. Gordon makes his argument from a biblical perspective, citing passages in both the Old and New Testament that support the continuation of spiritual gifts.
