as follows: Perhaps no school has actually had a higher impact on current theology than Dallas Theological Academy. Dallas was founded with a very specific function in mind: to teach and integrate dispensationalist faith. Before Dallas, the school of thought that divided the Bible into seven distinct historic periods or dispensations (and argued for a sharp difference in between Israel and the church), was largely unheard
of. Which leads me to remember my post on Christian Conceit. Now the majority of Evangelicals hold to some variation of this [dispensational] system. As kept in mind, Scofield has actually dominated much of Protestantism in America. So I found these videos on Darby, Scofield and dispensationalism(here and here). If you are interested in the topic, these are worth enjoying. The speaker is Bruce Gore, who has actually taught the adult education hour of First Presbyterian Church, Spokane (PCUSA)and taught at Whitworth University. He specifies that he
as soon as was totally bought in to the presentation of Scofield, although he has actually considering that altered his views. However, he likewise shares his ideas relating to a lot of those who hold to these views, as he when did– individuals who are strong Christian siblings and siblings, as he describes them. The two videos become part of a ten-part series on the Armageddon in Space and Time. This series was provided about six years back. This was followed up with more videos
on Revelation from about 2 years ago, included into the very same series. The whole series can be found here.(Explore his channel and you will discover
2 dozen additional teaching series.)The very first 10 videos offer a review of how Discovery was understood over some of the stepping in centuries, ending with a video on the Preterist view of the book (to which he is sympathetic, I think, and which, therefore informs his basic displeasure of Scofield’s views). Following what I find to be the too-often Protestant method, he basically skips from the 4th century to Jonathan Edwards in the eighteenth century– as if the intervening years never took place. This is unfortunate, however the concentrate on the Protestant scrambled mess of the 19th century is worthwhile. This latter set of videos covers Revelation from starting to end. Watching the very first ten videos, there was much
concentrate on the nineteenth century movements that took in Protestantism in America– a dozen individuals each with a new idea, each establishing a movement. I have actually covered some of this in the past(this post got, by far, more remarks than anything else I had actually composed in 2021). Conclusion If you were raised on Hal Lindsey and John Hagee, and still hold to those views, this series might not be for you. However, if you hold to these views yet stay available to the possibility that there might be other views worth considering, then you may want to take a look.
