Mathison defines and argues against a dispensationalism that is not commonly found today, and neglects to engage its contemporary manifestations. Many of the points he ably refutes aren't applicable to today's dispensationalist. That being said, his arguments against the old guard (Ryrie, Scofield) are convincing. It was disappointing that in his presentation of a covenantal/Reformed alternative he made it seem like postmillennialism was the eschatology of choice, despite its minority standin...more
A good overview of classic dispensationalism and some of the issues with it. Having been raised in this system, I can say it's a pretty accurate portrayal!

Mathison had some good stuff to say, but his rhetoric is rather dry and sometimes he broadly strokes the issues instead of meeting them head on. Also, suffers from age-he operates as if dispensationalists claim to be Calvinists. Something, perhaps, that has changed since the 90's.
Good primer on dispensational theology. It helps you sort out things and grasp the problems with understanding the bible through the dispensational lens.
A very good refutation of Dispensational theology.
Excelente!
We are not far along in this book yet, but already have a solid definition of dispensationalism that I never had before. Straight from the pages of great dispensational theologians like Ryrie and Scofield come the tenants of this doctrine.
I recommend this book as it speaks to the root of dispensational theology and then points to the unBiblical aspects of such beliefs.

“within the same person described ... we have not one or even two but at least three distinct entities.
1. The old sin nature-the root cause of all sin.
2. The new divine nature-which is unable to sin.
3. The believer-who chooses which of the other two will be in control.”
