Dispensationalism

by Charles C. Ryrie

Overview

Dispensationalism continues to provoke heated debate within the Christian world.

Highly acclaimed theologian Dr. Charles C. Ryrie addresses this crucial issue from the perspective of classic dispensationalism. He confronts the views of covenant theology, historical premillennialism, ultradispensationalism, and in this revised edition, the increasingly popular progressive dispensationalism.

In his best-selling book, Dispensationalism Today, written more than 50 years ago, Dr. Ryrie made this complex subject more understandable for thousands worldwide. This revised and expanded version of that book will prove to be an invaluable reference tool for your library.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

For students and critics alike, take a careful read of this new work.  Ryrie’s Dispensationalism underscores the crucial issue of defense: a literal, plain, normal interpretation of the biblical text.  Set aside your presuppositions and give Dispensationalism a careful hearing.
-Michael J. Easley, President Emeritus, Moody Bible Institute

For all who seek to either understand the biblical basis for dispensationalism or who feel the urge to criticize or dismiss dispensational theology, this book should be read first and foremost. Dr. Ryrie’s contribution to theology and biblical interpretation is monumental. This is a must read!
