"In matters of doctrine it is of vital importance that the authority upon which we act shall be one on which we can unhesitatingly rely. There are those who advocate that such authority is vested in the Church. This at once introduces certain questions for our consideration, namely, what the Church is, and what are its calling, constitution and destiny. No claim to authority on the part of any man, or company of men, can be admitted, till it is proved to be well founded. We do not acquiesc...

W.E. Vine, with the help of C.F. Hogg, explores this doctrine. Bruce says that Vine and Hogg "deviated in several important respects from the usual" teaching of premillennialism, ...

Vine's discernment as a theologian and his pastoral concerns are both demonstrated in his commentary on Hebrews. Hebrews was written to Jewi...
