Dispensationalism and
the History of Redemption is a collection of ten essays from various
well-educated dispensationalist scholars from Dallas Theological Seminary. It
covers various aspects of dispensationalism, from its history and development
to how it differs from other systems, as well as various factions within the
movement. The book gives a fairly in-depth treatise for the average layman, although
a seminary student would likely be well-versed in more of the subject matter.
The ideal audience is those who have managed some study of theology already and
are aware of the branches of systematic theology, and how various Christian
factions fall within different areas of theology.
I have read my fair share of theology books, having grown up
the daughter of a seminary graduate, but I still had to take the book slowly.
It all made sense to me but it wasn’t easy reading. As a dispensationalist, I
enjoyed reading a text that deals with so many aspects of dispensationalism,
and learned quite a bit about the history of the movement and how it relates to
other views, such as covenant theology.
I would definitely recommend this book to those who have enough
background to get through it. If you were a little confused reading my review
thus far, I would recommend beginning with a more introductory level book on
dispensationalism or theology in general. Overall, I learned a lot and am glad
I was able to read this book.
I received this book
