Ben Witherington III簡介時代論

 

最近喺facebook見有班耶教圈的朋友喺度講時代論. 我係完全唔識時代論的, 以前返咁多年學, 從來冇人談及過呢個題目, 可能係因為呢D嘢冇乜強烈聖經根據, 所以D老師覺得有好多其他更需要cover的題目. 但我懷疑我以前細個返嗰間教會係有講過, 因為我記得係有聽過"律法時代"、"恩典時代"呢類字眼.

屋企有本Ben Witherington III的書, 其中有三章係講時代論的, 佢咁樣簡介時代論:

//[T]he Dispensational approach to the Bible did not arise after profound study of the Hebrew or Greek Scriptures or detailed scholarly exegesis of the text. It was a system that apparently arose in response to a vision and as a result of a pastoral concern about unfulfilled biblical prophecy, and was promulgated by various ministers and evangelists and entrepreneurs in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. More recently, it has often been wed with the all-too-American gospel of success and wealth, not to mention the belief that America is in some way God’s chosen instrument, though of course the Bible says nothing about America.//

~Ben Witherington III, The Problem with Evangelical Theology
