The God Who is There: The God Who is Very Angry, by Don Carson, on Revelation 14

Don__CarsonThen I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.  And he said with a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, andworship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water."

His counsel, excerpted here from the full transcript of his Pittsburgh messages, was heard by participants from several Presbyterian communions.)

Themelios 1.1 (Autumn 1975): 3-12.

Dr Packer is well known on both sides of the Atlantic as a leading exponent of the evangelical view of the inspiration and authority of Scripture. In this significant article, which first appeared in The Churchman, vol. 81 (1967), and is reprinted by permission, he considers the implications of this doctrinal position for our approach to biblical interpretation, in the context of the modern debate on hermeneutical principles.
