About this title

Synopsis

This book has one goal in mind, to try and bring greater understanding between two dedicated groups of Christians. Dispensationalists and Reformed Christians have a very different understanding of how God has worked in this world as well as how God will continue to work. There is a theological divide that has developed after many years of discussion and stems from a mixture of ignorance; misunderstanding and actual disagreement. Robert McKenzie seeks to examine what each side believes, fleshing out the differences and misunderstandings. He takes a look at the history of each system as well as their theological developments. The author seeks to be faithful to each system pointing out their strengths and weaknesses all the while citing the Scriptures that are used to support each side’s belief. It is hoped that with greater understanding the two groups will be able to engage in conversation with a clearer view of why a doctrine is believed and how the different doctrines build into the system. Whether you are a Dispensationalist, believe in Covenant theology or you aren’t quite sure if you fall in either camp this book can be tremendously helpful.TABLE OF CONTENTSForeword iiAcknowledgments iiiIntroduction v1Reformed Hermeneutics 12The Covenant of Redemption143The Covenant of Works 24 4The Covenant of Grace 345The Abrahamic Covenant 496 The Mosaic Covenant 647The New Covenant 718The Two-Age Model 819The Second Coming 9510The History of Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology 10311The Hermeneutics of Dispensationalism11812The Seven Dispensations 12713The Tribulation Period 14414The Millennial Kingdom 156Conclusion 178Bibliography 182Scripture Index 190Subject and Name Index 196
