Summary

Millennial Dawn, Vol. 4 (The Atonement of Man) was published in 1905 by the Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society and is a central text in the history of modern American millenarianism. The subject book was originally published in 1886 under the title The Plan of the Ages, and later re-titled The Divine Plan of the Ages as part of the Studies in the Scriptures series. Volume 1 lays out the foundational theological framework of Charles Taze Russell's religious movement.
The book argues that God operates through distinct chronological "dispensations" or ages, such as the Patriarchal Age, the Jewish Age, and the Gospel Age, leading up to the "Millennial Age". Its primary themes include the harmonising of the scriptures while attempting to systematically reconcile Old and New Testament prophecies.
