NOTE FOR READERS:

The Major Bible Themes chapters that have been posted here are for the purpose of helping Christians clearly understand major themes of the Bible. 

SRN seeks to equip believers with sound doctrinal principles, not promote individuals. As a literary document, Major Bible Themes is premillennial, pretribulational and dispensationalist. It should be noted also that we see many patterns throughout Scripture and oftentimes a Jewish Midrashic perspective is very helpful in order to help clarify biblical truths by way of illustrations, not creating new doctrines. Therefore, balance is encouraged, not theological extremes. SRN rejects Hyper-dispensationalism as well as Replacement theology and Amillennialism, which can be categorically refuted from Scripture and a thorough study of how things arose in church history.

Dr. Chafer was known internationally as a Bible teacher, lecturer and Professor of Systematic Theology and his works have been well recognized for many years amongst truly evangelical Bible preaching ministers and ministries.

The PDF files below have been reformatted by SRN. We have purposely not added any formatting credit to ourselves so that these PDF files may be of use to others and may be useful in small group settings for study - without our SRN logo or name on any documents.

Lewis Sperry Chafer alone should receive the due credit for his own authorship, regardless of whether Public Domain documents are available and can be adjusted for the internet via transcription and formatting.  We have tried to keep any formatting changes to a bare minimum from the original text.
