About this listen

 There are many questions in the air about the Bible's teachings on the End Times. Dispensationalism is a form of biblical interpretation, a system that advertises itself as the only serious option for the study of prophecy. But, since its appearance in the mid-19th Century, it has correctly predicted nothing while fostering a sub-culture of wild speculation within evangelical Christianity. The litany of wrong predictions and laughable proposals that have plagued Dispensationalism from its outset would be comical if it didn't represent the deception of millions along the way.

Runyan ends this article by providing a short but helpful bibliography, for those who are ready to begin exploring other options in biblical interpretation. Christian Eschatology Christian Living Christianity Theology

But suddenly when Darby develops ideas that Americans love, it becomes new doctrine!
