Roberto Carson, 08/06/2009 19.25:
"Il Divin Piano dell'età" è senz'ombra di dubbio l'opera più famosa realizzata dal pastore Russell. Il libro in questione è una vera e propria "reliquia" tra i Testimoni di Geova, considerando che adesso è molto raro e sono davvero in pochi ad averne una copia originale.
Quello che desidero sapere è, ai tempi di Russell, quante diverse edizioni in lingua inglese ne sono state realizzate? Inoltre, in quali lingue fu tradotto e pubblicato il volume? E per ogni lingua, quante diverse edizioni ne sono state fatte?
Sotto sono elencate (con inserite alcune immagini), tutte le edizioni in inglese del Divin Piano delle Età.
La prima edizione fu pubblicata nel 1886 e si chiamava Millennial Dawn; dal 1905/1906 si chiamarono
