Digital Logos Edition
This book in honor of Dr. Charles Ryrie was written by scholars who hold to the same basic view of Dispensationalism for which he is noted. In their chapters they address subjects related directly or indirectly to that system of theology. They exhibit a confirmed commitment to the authority, power, sufficiency, original languages, and correct interpretation of the Scripture. Their work reflects careful exegesis of pertinent Biblical passages and significant interaction with writings of scholars who disagree with the Dispensational view of the Bible.

“‘The essence of dispensationalism, then, is the distinction between Israel and the church. This grows out of the dispensationalist’s consistent employment of normal or plain interpretation, and it reflects an understanding of the basic purpose of God in all His dealings with mankind as that of glorifying Himself through salvation and other purposes as well.’” (Page vi)
“God has divinely and authoritatively disclosed Himself, for the purpose of His own glorification11, via creation of and action in history (general revelation), by communication through language (special revelation), and by sent representation (personal revelation).” (Page 17)
“Any approach to worldview necessarily begins with an application of circular reasoning. That is, a worldview must by very definition begin with its own self-authenticating pronouncements of truth.” (Page 13)
“It is not insignificant that the Biblical writers provided no apologetic for the existence of God; rather His existence is stated, assumed, and necessary throughout the Biblical revelation as the reality-defining circle of foundational truth (Gen. 1:1; Ps. 14:1 etc.).” (Page 14)
“often specifically referring to being ‘cut off’ in death (e.g., Gen 9:11; Exod 31:14; Jer 9:21; 11:19).” (Page 323)
