Terry was a prolific writer, and wrote commentaries on Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Daniel, and Revelation. He also wrote a book on Shintoism and translated the Sibylline Oracles.[2] His magnum opus was a trilogy consisting of Biblical Hermeneutics (1883), Biblical Apocalyptics (1898), and Biblical Dogmatics (1907).[3] Robert L. Thomas suggests that Biblical Hermeneutics was "viewed as the standard work on biblical hermeneutics for most of the twentieth century."[4]
