Description
Charles Taze Russell was a Pittsburgh clothier who founded the Bible Student movement, from which the Jehovah's Witnesses later grew. His Divine Plan of the Ages, published in 1886, is volume one of Studies in the Scriptures. A famous chart inside maps the ages of the world.
Russell reads the Bible as a single plan running from creation through the fall, the gospel age, and the coming millennial kingdom. His chart of the ages, shaped like a pyramid of dispensations, made the scheme visible at a glance. Bible Students studied the volume as their prophetic map of past and future.
