Synopsis: Back Cover: "For several years two groups of dispensationalists, commonly known by the terms traditionalists and progressives, have engaged in an ongoing debate centered around three crucial issues: I. The interpretation of Scripture. What rules of hermeneutics govern our understanding of Scripture? 2. The Abrahamic, Davidic and new covenants. To whom do these covenants apply and how are they fulfilled or yet to be fulfilled? 3. Israel and the church. How are we to understand the present relationship and future destiny of these two peoples of God? In an irenic debate format, Three Central Issues in Contemporary Dispensationalism demonstrates that those on either side of the issues care deeply about Scripture and its meaning. 'Each [contributor] should be given credit for a congenial and helpful contribution to the dispensational discussion.'"
