Top-level scholarship on an enduring tradition Dispensationalism has long been associated with a careful, trustworthy interpretation of Scripture. Reflective of its past and present status and strategic to its future, Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption is a fresh defense of a time-tested tradition. Made up of ten essays from leading dispensationalist scholars, this volume covers the critical elements to know: An introduction to dispensationalism --including its terms and biblical support The history and influence of dispensationalism --from its roots in John Nelson Darby to its global reach through missions The hermeneutic of dispensationalism --the interpretive principles behind the system Dispensationalism and redemptive history --the story of salvation traced through the Old and New Testaments, including their unity and diversity in relation to Christ Dispensationalism and covenant theology --a comparison and contrast between two main evangelical perspectives on Scripture's unity With contributors from top-tier schools like Dallas Theological Seminary and Wheaton College, Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption is an expert treatment of an enduring yet developing tradition.
