Progressive Dispensationalism

“Finally—a coherent statement of current dispensational thinking which leaves the zealous mistakes of Scofield and the Allis-Ladd-Walvoord wars far behind. It presents hermeneutics grounded in authorial intent rather than naive literalism, unity as well as diversity in the biblical covenants, Davidic as well as new covenants inaugurated by Jesus, and a kingdom-based framework for understanding progressive dispensationalism. It is a thoughtful presentation of a truly biblical-theological system, a bench mark for future discussions.”

Gerry Breshears

“This excellent work by Blaising and Bock presents a strong case for the significant refinements within progressive dispensationalism. It also provides a splendid sequel to Dispensationalism, Israel and the Church, edited by the same authors. I highly recommend it.”

Kenneth J. Barker

“With their latest work. . . Blaising and Bock have produced a tour de force, a clear and unambiguous statement of the thought of an increasingly large segment of contemporary dispensationalism. Regardless of whether Christians of other traditions (or even fellow dispensationalists) accept their premises and theological conclusions in every respect, there can no longer be any doubt as to what “progressive dispensationalism” means and how two of its leading proponents argue its case.”

Eugene H. Merrill

“Anyone who learned dispensationalism in the 50s or 60s and thinks that it has not changed should read a book like this. Blaising and Bock give a fine overview of what is called progressive dispensationalism. . . .”

Paul D. Feinberg

“Blaising and Bock have thoughtfully and biblically given the Christian community a long overdue work. Their presentation of Christ’s rule over God’s kingdom in this age and the age to come, plus their skillful unfolding of the connection between covenants make it a must in prophetic reading.”
