Church History has a real value to interpreting the Bible

A few words for this extraordinary book. The author is well informed. He researched one hundred or more books and periodicals about the History of Premillenialism. It is a good idea in this time of fever from the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, that is good, to review some of the historical data concerning this matter. Tim La Haye's betsellers series about he rapture need a historical perspective too. I personally found very valuable and helpful to interprete some difficult passages from the Bible. I recommend it.
