Law and Grace

This new book by Dr. Houghton is a long-awaited and welcomed addition to the important issue of law and grace in the believer’s life.  It could as well have been titled, “Law, Gospel, & Grace” because that is the three-fold division Dr. Houghton suggests as a Dispensational solution to the confusion over law and grace, […]

The Dawn of World Redemption

This first book (1951) concentrates on the beginning of creation and Old Testament history leading up to the first coming of Christ.  This reveals his belief in a form of gap theory which runs throughout his books but does not affect his general orthodoxy.  His dispensational plan includes seven dispensations but his actual lists may […]

From Eternity to Eternity

This third book was first published in 1954.  It includes Sauer’s dispensational chart which is a large fold-out chart glued in the back of the book.  On this chart the rapture is pictured as pre-tribulational.  Sauer scans the entire Biblical history and then, at great length, answers thirteen objections to the literal nature of the […]

Addresses on Prophecy

I have read these small hard-bound books by Scofield as I have found them.  They were printed by The Gospel Hour, INC. directed by Oliver B. Greene but without a publishing date (which was circa 1900+).  Scofield was an early Dispensationalist who probably did as much for Bible study as any man in the 20th […]

The Basis Of The Premillennial Faith

The following is a collation of books that I have not had space to include over the last couple issues. I heard Charles Ryrie speak last month and purchased two of his books which I had read before.  Balancing The Christian Life has been updated in 1994.  The chapter on Lordship salvation is especially relevant and the […]

Dispensationalism: Rightly Dividing the ...

I picked up this 1995 book because I thought I had misread the title.  I didn’t. I also noticed it was endorsed by R.C. Sproul. Mathison left Dallas Seminary and transferred to Reformed Theological Seminary.  His criticism of today’s dispensationalism is nothing new and his alternative view is standard Reformed doctrine.  So I still don’t […]

What On Earth Is A Dispensation?

The best book to come out by the new publishing company in Springfield, MO is this 1994 volume.  It is authored by nine capable men who are dispensational pretribulationalists and connected with the Baptist Bible Tribune, Baptist Bible College and Graduate School.   The uniqueness of the book, in a market flooded with this subject, is […]

Dispensationalism

This is the 1995 update of the original 1966 Dispensationalism Today. It has been updated to include references to more recent works and a critique of progressive dispensationalism. The ‘‘plea’’ at the end has also been expanded to include these developments.  I was glad to see, and this isn’t the first place, that Ryrie has […]

Issues in Dispensationalism

This 1994 book is a recent answer to progressive dispensationalism by the editors and ten other contributors (including John Walvoord), also from historically dispensational seminaries. Walvoord says, ‘‘In a word, . . . the men represented by this new movement . . . are building their view on an inadequate definition of the kingdom concept […]

Dispensationalism, Israel and the Church

This 1992 book is written by Blaising and Bock (both professors at Dallas Seminary) and nine other contributors, mostly from historically dispensational seminaries. The arguments are generally that Jesus is sitting on David’s throne now in heaven so that the kingdom has, in a way, begun; Israel and the Church share equally in the New […]
