Actually, the book was a tome by Bahnsen and North. And, I am not interested in their arguments against dispensationalism. Nor, do I expect you to be.
Nor, am I particularly interested is such specifics as eschatologhy.
However, I am interested in how thoughtful people can accept a system of theology that is such a departure from the understanding of even the historical Protestant confessions.

Bahnsen died in 1995 and DTS is still dispensational. North predicted an economic crash due to Y2K and was the darling of the Art Bell show. Not my kind of prophets. I suspect for both it was wishful thinking more than a working knowledge of Dallas Seminary.

[1] Sola scriptura.
[2] As time has passed many areas of doctrine have been refined with biblical study.
BTW, a friend of mine [Robert C. Walton] did his ThM thesis at Westminster Seminary arguing the distinction between Israel and the Church ( a sine qua non of dispensationalism). He did a great job and received an A from professors who hold an opposting view.
I can email you a copy if interest (freep me your email address).
