Subject: dispensationalism in light of grace? |
Bible Note: Are you saying then, mrms, that dispensationalism adds something to grace? If so, what does it add? Again, I’m not a dispensationalist, and at this point I’m not arguing for or against it. I’m just trying to clarify your question. As I was growing up in the faith I chose covenant theology as a way of organizing Scripture rather than dispensationalism. Later, I read a little more about dispensationalism in a book, “Major Bible Themes” by Lewis Sperry Chafer, revised by John F. Walvoord, published by Zondervan. I don’t know if it’s still in print, but I understand that Chafer is a major exponent of dispensationalism and Walvoord was President of Dallas Theological Seminary and a dispensationalist. So, the book should be a good of source of information. Peace, |
