Book Description
Biblical Theology features the story of the whole Bible. Our approach is a Dispensational interpretation of the story. As such, Dispensationalism provides a philosophy of Biblical history. Our interpretation of Biblical history will use the word dispensation in three related ways:First, dispensation refers to the management God exercises in salvation history. Second, it refers to human partners in God's plan, called to be stewards of what God reveals to them.Third, it refers to economies of God's management of the stewards, called dispensations.

Identifying the Seed
Author: Robert M. Mckenzie
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781721124206
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
This book has one goal in mind, to try and bring greater understanding between two dedicated groups of Christians. Dispensationalists and Reformed Christians have a very different understanding of how God has worked in this world as well as how God will continue to work. There is a theological divide that has developed after many years of discussion and stems from a mixture of ignorance; misunderstanding and actual disagreement. Robert McKenzie seeks to examine what each side believes, fleshing out the differences and misunderstandings. He takes a look at the history of each system as well as their theological developments. The author seeks to be faithful to each system pointing out their strengths and weaknesses all the while citing the Scriptures that are used to support each side's belief. It is hoped that with greater understanding the two groups will be able to engage in conversation with a clearer view of why a doctrine is believed and how the different doctrines build into the system. Whether you are a Dispensationalist, believe in Covenant theology or you aren't quite sure if you fall in either camp this book can be tremendously helpful.

Dispensationalism, Israel and the Church
Author: Craig A. Blaising
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310346118
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The relationship between Israel and the church is a crucial reference point in theology, especially in distinguishing between dispensational and nondispensational schools of thought. The writers of this book view Israel and the church as distinct theological institutions within the historical progress of divine revelation. But they are also related as successive phases of a redemptive program that is historically progressive and eschatologically converging. The goal of the book is a convergence of ideas among evangelical scholars in recognizing both continuity and discontinuity in the Israel-church relationship. - Back cover.

Dispensational Theology in America During the Twentieth Century
Author: Dale Sumner DeWitt
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780912340111
Category : Dispensationalism
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
"The intended audience is serious minded people who want to pursue the history and details of dispensational theology. There is a chapter or two which will be especially challenging for some readers, but overall anyone accustomed to college level reading will find this book eminently beneficial. DeWitt begins by explaining dispensationalism in the setting of other protestant theologies. This is an aspect of dispensationalism that seems to have been neglected but needs to be clearly understood. The following chapter seeks to track the historical background of dispensationalism. Succeeding chapters identify the essential ideas of dispensationalism and provide extensive discussion of their implications. The book ends with a chapter entitled, 'Dispensational Theology and Worldview Thought.' This is a warm but penetrating consideration of dispensationalism's power and ability to bring godly transformation to both people and the culture around them."--Timothy F. Conklin.

Progressive Covenantalism
Author: Stephen J. Wellum
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1433684039
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Building on the foundation of Kingdom through Covenant (Crossway, 2012), Stephen J. Wellum and Brent E. Parker have assembled a team of scholars who offer a fresh perspective regarding the interrelationship between the biblical covenants. Each chapter seeks to demonstrate how the covenants serve as the backbone to the grand narrative of Scripture. For example, New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner writes on the Sabbath command from the Old Testament and thinks through its applications to new covenant believers. Christopher Cowan wrestles with the warning passages of Scripture, texts which are often viewed by covenant theologians as evidence for a "mixed" view of the church. Jason DeRouchie provides a biblical theology of “seed” and demonstrates that the covenantal view is incorrect in some of its conclusions. Jason Meyer thinks through the role of law in both the old and new covenants. John Meade unpacks circumcision in the OT and how it is applied in the NT, providing further warrant to reject covenant theology's link of circumcision with (infant) baptism. Oren Martin tackles the issue of Israel and land over against a dispensational reading, and Richard Lucas offers an exegetical analysis of Romans 9-11, arguing that it does not require a dispensational understanding. From issues of ecclesiology to the warning passages in Hebrews, this book carefully navigates a mediating path between the dominant theological systems of covenant theology and dispensationalism to offer the reader a better way to understand God’s one plan of redemption.
