Reviews

In a day of theologies that are sometimes profound but seldom genuinely helpful to the church, Professor Elliott Johnson has written a Dispensational Biblical theology that is heavy with insight for the scholar yet readable enough to provide understanding and blessing to the church member. Cast as a Dispensational Biblical theology, Johnson pays close attention to eschatology--another feature that is too often missing from systematic theologies. This theology, however, understands that without the eschaton other theological doctrines never reach their fulfillment. A thorough grasp of the doctrine of the return of the Lord has informed this volume on theology, which every pastor ought to read.Paige PattersonPresident, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Many detractors of Dispensationalism insist that this view foists a preconceived theological system onto the Biblical text. Elliott Johnson's A Dispensational Biblical Theology shows, in a detailed way, the error of such thinking. While every Dispensationalist will not agree with everything in the work, Johnson deftly shows the strong dedication of Dispensationalism to progressive revelation as given in the Biblical text. Themes are developed in such a way that the inductive Bible study inherent in Dispensationalism is easy to see. In this way, Johnson more fully develops the Dispensational approach of Charles Ryrie that is common to most traditional Dispensationalists.Dr. Mike StallardBible Baptist Seminary
