***Hal Lindsey, (the Late, Great Planet Earth guy) was a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary***

Nope. Hal attended Dallas Seminary but was never a professor. In fact, he did not have an undergraduate degree prior to DTS and was admitted as a special student. I think he was a riverboat captain prior to seminary.

Ryrie, Pentecost or Walvoord would be better examples of classic dispensational professors at Dallas. I studied under all three. You are right it is not a diploma mill. The four year Master's Program there was far more rigorous than my four year engineering degree at Georgia Tech. Much more work.

Lindsey's LGPE happened to be the popularizing book that caught fire with the public.

Drstevej, would you agree that understsnding the difference between Israel and the church is the key to understanding prophecy?

i can't remember the particular book, but the bio paragraph refers to Lindsey as a Professor of Greek at Dallas Theological Seminary...it was an early book.

BTW CtId, for a real hoot, read the first edition of The Late, Great Planet Earth to see all of the things that Lindsey removed in subsequent editions, when his "prophetic [profitic?] instincts" didn't pan out.
