Is Dispensationalism Truly a Modern and Relevant Way to Read and Interpret the Bible?

Many believe that John Nelson Darby invented dispensationalism in the 19th century, but this theological framework is actually rooted in biblical truths that have been widely known and taught for millennia.

In Discovering Dispensationalism, a dozen leading scholars trace the development of dispensational thought from the world of the New Testament through the present day. Throughout the volume distinct milestones that emerged over two millennia are connected, reflecting what would later become known as dispensationalism. The historical significance of this biblical-theological framework demonstrates that dispensationalism, far from being “dead” or “fallen,” continues to shape Christian thought in the twenty-first century.
