Dispensationalism is a doctrine that has profoundly affected evangelical Christianity over the last 100 years. If you attend an evangelical church, chances are your beliefs have been shaped or affected in some way by this doctrine. And yet, despite the blessing it has brought over the years, today dispensationalism is under attack from without and from within. This page is intended to be a source of helpful teaching on the topic of dispensationalism.
