Dispensational Divide
The History and Progression of DispensationalismBy C.T. Paulsen
Length3h 18m
About this audiobook
Have you heard of the Left Behind books? Or the Scofield Bible? Have you ever wondered why some Christians talk so much about Israel and the end of the world? All of this comes from one big idea called dispensationalism. This book tells that story in a clear and simple way.
You do not need to know Greek or Hebrew. You do not need a college degree. You just need an open mind. You will meet a lawyer named John Nelson Darby, a study Bible that sold millions of copies, and a writer whose book topped the charts in the 1970s.
You will also learn about covenant theology, the main rival view. Both sides get a fair shake. Every fact has a footnote, and a full book list shows you where to dig deeper.
Start here.
