I've not heard of Progressive Dispensationalism before, but is it related to God's progressive revelation?

(I'll read the article in a bit to see.)

...progressive revelation...

It starts from the premise that prophecy is being progressively fulfilled now and that the kingdom of God is both already and not yet.

Nor had I. I was expecting some new version of dispensationalism to pop up, filling the void created by Hal Lindsey's 1988 rapture predictions (40 years after the foundation of modern Israel) not coming to pass. This appears to be one of the contenders....

The public debut of PD was made on November 20, 1986, in the Dispensational Study Group in connection with the annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Atlanta, Georgia. . . . Actually, the label 'progressive dispensationalism' was introduced at the 1991 meeting, since 'significant revisions' in dispensationalism had taken place by that time. Some view Kenneth Barker's presidential address at the 33rd annual meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society on December 29, 1981 as the precursor to some of the views of PD.
