Review: Helpful Assessment on Current Status of Dispensationalism in Evangelicalism - Dispensationalism has had a rich tradition in the Evangelical movement in England, Canada and the U.S. since the late-19th Century. But since its inaugural systemization by J.N. Darby, C.I. Scofield, and the better-known Lewis S. Chafer, along with the popularizing of its teachings through the 1909 Scofield Reference Bible and Niagara Bible Conferences, it has gone through quite a bit of development, as the book under review suggests in its subtitle. This book is essentially a modern assessment on the status of Dispensationalism, where it has come from, and its trajectories forward. It has been quite some time since there has been a book published at the popular level that positively supports Dispensational theology, so its certainly encouraging to see a strong Evangelical tradition reasserting itself in the public square. For those well acquainted with Dispensationalism, the tradition has come a very long way since its days of awesome-looking prophecy charts and ensuring at every turn that Israel and the Church shall never see the other until their wedding day. Development began taking place in the early 1950s, after the passing of Dispensational theologian Lewis S. Chafer (1952), with works coming from the pens of Alva McClain ('The Greatness of the Kingdom"), Charles Ryrie ("Dispensationalism", "The Basis for the Premillennial Faith"), John Walvoord ("The Millennial Kingdom", "The Rapture Question") and Dwight Pentecost ("Things to Come"). Their reimagining of Dispensationalism brought the "peoples of God" (Israel and the Church) much closer together in the Christian history of redemption, though its eschatological outworking remained largely untouched. This reimagining was developed between the 1950s-1980s. However, many in the tradition felt it wasn't close enough, and have married the "peoples of God" into the "people of God" with what is common known as 'Progressive' Dispensationalism, a movement which originated from the Dispensational Study Group within the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) beginning in the early to mid-1980s. Along with marrying the 'peoples of God' into the 'people of God', Darrell Bock, Robert Saucy, Craig Blaising, David Turner, and others called for a more 'complementary hermeneutic' which allowed the NT's use of the OT to reform both the kingdom and ecclesiological expectations created by the OT when it was in isolation. These developments came to a close in the mid-to-late 1990s, which is where Dispensationalism largely finds itself today. Into these developments enters this excellent book by a variety of Dispensational scholars, largely from Dallas Seminary, discussing the current status of the tradition, its voice in modern Evangelicalism, and its continuing influence and evangelistic impact around the world. While opponents within the Evangelical fold continue to pile-on their criticisms of much older, and frankly outdated, Dispensational streams of thought, these authors deal with both traditions in a very irenic, and brotherly spirit. The book is a collection of essays re-telling the Dispensational story as it stands today. In summary, this book is more of a popular-level, though helpful, update on the status of one of the most enduring and influential Evangelical traditions in the West. While it certainly isn't your grandpa's Dispensationalism (and not even your 1967 Scofield Bible Dispensationalism!), it still can be seen, as Charles Ryrie famously stated in his distillation of Dispensationalism, as "A Help Not a Heresy". Highly recommended book to understand the past history, present status, and future trajectories of Dispensationalism within the fold of our common Evangelical Faith.
Review: Very helpful in developing my understanding of dispensationalism - This book was a perfect read for me to develop my understanding of dispensationalism. Not only has it been a great introduction for me, it has pushed me to move forward to deepen my understanding through some other similar books.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good in depth explanation of Dispensationalism
*by Z***Z on December 3, 2015*

Good in depth explanation of Dispensationalism. Some of the articles are highly academic, while others are more for the layman. I realized while reading this book that I was raised in this tradition. Although this makes more sense than Calvinism, there are building blocks that just don't hold up under the weight of common sense hermaneutics. However, if you want to know everything there is to know about Dispensationalism, this is the book for you. It is written by the foremost authorities on the subject.
