Publisher's Synopsis
Miller's Reply to Stuart's Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy, and a Review of a Discourse by L.F. Dimmick (1842) is a book written by William Miller. In this book, Miller responds to the criticisms of Moses Stuart, a professor of sacred literature at Andover Theological Seminary, regarding Miller's interpretation of biblical prophecy. Miller was a Baptist preacher who became famous for his prediction that the Second Coming of Christ would occur in 1843 or 1844. Stuart had published a series of articles in the Biblical Repository and Princeton Review criticizing Miller's approach to interpreting prophecy.Miller's Reply to Stuart's Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy is a detailed defense of his method of interpreting biblical prophecy, which he believed was based on a literal reading of the Bible. Miller argues that Stuart's criticisms are based on a misunderstanding of his approach and that Stuart's own method of interpreting prophecy is flawed. Miller also responds to a sermon by L.F. Dimmick, a Methodist preacher who had criticized Miller's predictions.Overall, Miller's Reply to Stuart's Hints on the Interpretation of Prophecy is a significant work in the history of American religious thought.
