First Pages of the "Annotated Bibliography"
Clarence Larkin. Dispensational
Truth or God's Plan and Purpose in the Ages.
Glenside,
Pennsylvania: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1918. While
there were a number of theologians creating and using
charts around the turn of the 20th
Century,
Larkin is perhaps the most famous. Comparisons between the
many charts of Larkin and Dake would be too vast for this
work's purposes. For reference however, compare "The
Threefold Nature of Man" on page 99 of Dispensational
Truth with the
image "The Tri-Unity of Man" on Dake's The
Plan of the Ages Bible
chart. See page 6 of Dispensational
Truth on
"Mountain Peaks of Prophecy" and God's
Plan for Man, page
776, where Dake refers to seeing prophecy as mountain
peaks. See the preface to Dake's
Annotated Reference Bible where he
speaks of this book by name. (God's
Plan for Man,
page
776; The
Plan of the Ages Bible
chart; Dake's
Annotated Reference Bible,
Preface.)
_______________.
Rightly
Dividing The Word. Glenside,
Pennsylvania: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1920. A book on
fundamental doctrines. Compare "The Five Great World-Wide
Kingdoms" on page 38 of Dispensational
Truth with the
images in the Daniel section of Dake's The
Plan of the Ages Bible
chart. (The
Plan of the Ages Bible
chart.)
_______________.
The
Book of Daniel.
Glenside, Pennsylvania: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1929.
A very helpful book on Daniel. It seems clear that Dake
gleaned a number of ideas from this work. Consider the
division of the Grecian Empire into the control of four
generals as stated on page 163 of The
Book of Daniel and
compare it with God's
Plan for Man, page
786. (God's
Plan for Man,
page
786; Dake's
Annotated Reference Bible O.T.,
page 877.)
_______________.
The
Book of Revelation. Glenside,
Pennsylvania: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1919. A verse by
verse commentary on the book of Revelation. Compare "The
Key to the Book" on page 13 of The
Book Of Revelation with
Dake's Revelation
Expounded, page
33. Also of special interest see page 74 of
The
Book Of Revelation by
Larkin and compare it with God's
Plan for Man, pages
83, 120, 131, 134, and 727. Here the thought of the
pre-Adamite world inhabitants being the demons of this
present world is discussed. (God's
Plan for Man, pages
83,120,131,134,727; Revelation
Expounded, page
33.)
_______________.
The
Spirit World. Glenside,
Pennsylvania: Rev. Clarence Larkin Estate, 1921. For
comparison see God's
Plan For Man,
page 745
concerning the underworld of departed spirits and compare
it with the chapter entitled "The Underworld" in
The
Spirit World,
page 47.
(God's
Plan For Man,
page
745.)
J.
B. Lightfoot. (Dake's
Annotated Reference Bible,
Matthew
27:5; Acts 1:18.)
William
Miller. Advent
Message. Dake
references this source concerning prophetic date-setting.
(God's
Plan for Man,
pages
819, 858, 859; Revelation
Expounded,
page
198.)
G.
Campbell Morgan. God's
Methods With Man. New
York, New York: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1898. Morgan a
Presbyterian dispensationalist wrote extensively and also
created a chart. The writings of Morgan contained with
in God's
Methods With Man are so
far removed from that of Dake, it is doubtful that Dake
gleaned from this book at all. Not withstanding, Dake being
the scholar he was, and this being a dispensational book of
his day, it is almost certain he had read from this
book.
John
Lawrence Von Mosheim. History
of the Church by Mosheim, Vol.
1. New Haven: Maltby, 1832. Mosheim was renowned as a
German/Latin author and scholar. He investigated
comprehensively the history of religion, and treated
questions such as the influence of Platonism on the early
Church. Dake references this source concerning information
on Easter. See Revelation
Expounded,
page
201. (God's
Plan for Man, page
821; Revelation
Expounded, page
201.)
