looking for a certain book,... - Dave - 02-21-2004
Don't wish to use this forum as a hunt and search, but this book is eluding me. Pulling out my resources in hopes that maybe someone knows something I don't in purchasing this book:
William Whiston, The Primitive New Testament
Anyone with any ideas?

I have William Whiston's works on Flavius Josephus. Whiston was the third Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University who succeeded Isaac Newton.
I am more interested in Newton's "Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John" which was published 6 years after his death. Until now I couldn't find the book.
I am glad you asked about William Whiston because while trying to answer your question, I finally found Isaac Newton's great book online. http://blueletterbible.org/Comm/isaac_newton/prophecies/index.html <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->
Newton says, "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."
I suggest you try http://www.dovebook.com/used/Default.asp which is my favourite out of print bookseller. I think they are the best for scholarly resources and out of print books. I used to buy many books from them long before there was an Amazon. There was no web site for me to refer to more than a decade ago. Only catalogues! <!-- s

Thanks for the help Dan. I emailed Vance publications also to see if they can reprint it. Been looking for the last 2 days on this and was amazed that I could find nothing on this.
