subject "unlearnable". A lot of this material appears unsourced and I put in a few comments into this page. This material needs references for many of the statements that it's making, otherwise I recommend a complete revamping of the whole page! To those who really want to learn the argument, I recommend J. Dwight
Pentecost's book "Things to Come" published by Zondervan. I'm using my old copy in dealing with this page; I'm currently ordering a new book in case there were any updates to Pentecost's book. At least one Wiki user on another page asked the question of what Dispensationalism is and maybe, if I have time, I'll try to fix this page but the material here would confuse anyone.--

Again, no complaints, as I understand it. This will go over the concept of dispensations, the history of the concept, but no actual list of dispensations? I think it would be POV to exclude the LDS position, and should probably be listed as part of the history, as the LDS concept is an outgrowth of

That's a very good idea, because dispensational schemes predate the emergence of
Evangelical dispensationalism by at least a century (i.e. Isaac Watts, John Edwards). I think I (or someone else) will create a new article entry called either "dispensations" or "dispensational schemes." That would be a

Biblical arguments pro and con are important of course, but the starting point should be the theology, illuminated by the
Biblical references. Then for balance some account of the views of a secondary scholar which gives their Biblical and theological reasons why they think this theology is wrong.

Dispensationalism isn't this hard, and I have more than 115 books on biblical subject; many on
Dispensationalism. Nevertheless even I'm stumped when I view this page. Learning Dispensationalism isn't that hard but it appears that a number of people have either inadvertently or deliberately made the

This page used to be quite simple :) - sorry I created it at this point though as it is just a mess--not that I claim it was good to begin with as I just lifted it from the already bloated

A couple of years ago, I had posted some stuff from an earlier version of a paper I submitted for publication in a book, under the section entitled "Biblical arguments in favor of dispensationalism". This book is about to be published. Since it will be copyrighted, I think it's only right that I

better fit for a broader article on the history of dispensation and to show those outside of
Evangelicalism also have dispensational arrangements. I'll do some additional research and when the article is in decent shape, I suggest we then move the LDS scheme there.
509:
A hard sell for the dispensationalism page, yes. However the arrangement of periods of history (dispensations) predates dispensationalism as a theology, so I think the broad scope (and the LDS dispensations) can easily be included under an article titled

Since this article focuses on
Evangelical dispensational theology, having the "Latter day Saints" section on dispensationalism at the top is confusing to readers. So I moved the "Latter day Saints" to "other dispensational schemes" section.
