Understanding Dispensationalists

Poythress provides a very thoughtful, honest look at dispensationalism from a reformed perspective. Avoiding the trap of over generalization, he gives a fair and honest look at dispensational theology with a gracious spirit. He points out why the dispensational theology is flawed and, ultimately, incorrect from the Scriptures, and is careful to observe the distinction between classic and progressive dispensationalism. There is no doubt that Dispensationalism is fatally flawed, but Poythress manages to avoid confontational language and attitudes towards those who hold this belief.
