Product Review

In 1988 and 1989, three books were published that criticized the theology of Christian Reconstructionism, and also the theology of the entire historic Christian faith, by attacking the idea of Christian social reform. They were Dominion Theology: Blessing or Curse?, by H. Wayne House and Thomas Ice: Whatever Happened to Heaven?, by Dave Hunt; and The Road to Holocaust, by Hal Lindsey. The arguments of all three books are answered in detail by House Divided, with Greg Bahnsen taking up the question of biblical law, and Kenneth Gentry taking up the question of biblical eschatology. What this book demonstrates is that dispensational theology has now been shattered by its own defenders. They are no longer willing to defend the original system, and their drastic modifications have left it a broken shell.
