::I love lengthy footnotes myself. I suspect the general reader, however, will ignore them. The footnote covers the important aspect of the commentaryits neutrality towards the tribulation and second advent timing. Its a significant fact that a scholarly preacher went twenty years neglecting a bedrock doctrine of Jesus. He took up a decade long study so we have thirty years of the man's life marked by the subject. At some point WEB's premillennial position should be noted and I'd love to access his pre-trib thinking if any scholarship exits on that. Its probably in his published sermons post 1924. I wonder if the most convincing pre-trib preachers cited WEB. The pre-trib position and latter-day theology took off after the founding of the modern Israel. I am continuing to read the volume and thank you for your efforts. Happy Thanksgiving!
