Description: "The intended audience is serious minded people who want to pursue the history and details of dispensational theology. There is a chapter or two which will be especially challenging for some readers, but overall anyone accustomed to college level reading will find this book eminently beneficial. DeWitt begins by explaining dispensationalism in the setting of other protestant theologies. This is an aspect of dispensationalism that seems to have been neglected but needs to be clearly understood. The following chapter seeks to track the historical background of dispensationalism. Succeeding chapters identify the essential ideas of dispensationalism and provide extensive discussion of their implications. The book ends with a chapter entitled, 'Dispensational Theology and Worldview Thought.' This is a warm but penetrating consideration of dispensationalism's power and ability to bring godly transformation to both people and the culture around them."--Timothy F. Conklin.
