Dispensationalism Revisited

Dispensationalism Revisited: A Twenty-First Century Restatement A Festschrift in Honor of Charles A. Hauser, Jr. This book is a collection of essays written by former students and colleagues of dispensational theologian Charles A. Hauser, Jr. The essays explore a variety of topics related to dispensational theology. Dispensationalism Revisited is divided into four parts. The first part deals with three sine qua nons of dispensationalism: the glory of God, a defense of literal hermeneutics, and a clarification on the distinction between Israel and the church. The second part deals with broad topics within dispensationalism, such as the relationship between the biblical covenants and the dispensations, the nature of the kingdom of God, and the disappearance of Israel from the thinking of the early Church Fathers. The third part deals with more specific topics in dispensational thought, such as a dispensationalist reading of the book of Acts, the question of what Romans 9-11 teaches about the future of Israel, and the nature of the second coming of Christ. The fourth part is a defense of a pretribulational rapture of the church. The essays in this book are written by leading scholars in the field of dispensational theology. They are well-researched and carefully argued, and they provide a valuable overview of the current state of dispensational scholarship. The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand dispensational theology or who is interested in the latest thinking on this important theological topic.
