Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption

Publisher Description

: Top-level Scholarship on a Long-Standing Tradition

Dispensationalism has long been associated with careful interpretation and grammatical-historical sensitivity to the Scriptures. But in recent decades it has been the target of critique. Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption offers a thorough and convincing look at God's plan for humanity.

Brought together in one volume are all the critical elements to know:

• An introduction to dispensationalism-its terms, biblical support, and place within Christian orthodoxy.
• The history and influence of dispensationalism-from its roots in John Nelson Darby to its global influence through mission movements.
• The hermeneutics 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.

With contributors from top-tier institutions like Dallas Theological Seminary and The University of Aberdeen, Dispensationalism and the History of Redemption is an expert treatment of a long-standing yet developing tradition.
