566–856) is Fruchtenbaum’s main achievement and constitutes the great contribution this book makes to Dispensational Theology. He also shows how it needs to improve and consistently apply this sensitivity to doctrinal concerns pertaining to the status of Israel in present and past history. Here Fruchtenbaum demonstrates how Dispensationalism has been aided in its correct formulation of prophetic doctrine due to its sensitivity to Israelology. 318–565) shows that Dispensationalism has, to date, developed the most adequate hermeneutic for understanding the theological significance of Israel. 14–317) is a comprehensive demonstration that Covenant Theology has largely formulated its decidedly non-dispensational approach precisely because of its failure to formulate accurate distinctions between Israel and the Church. Not only does the author carefully build a comprehensive and convincing case to prove that Israelology has been neglected in theological study, he goes on to write a complete Israelology based on the interpretational principles of Dispensationalism. This book is the fruit of Fruchtenbaum’s 13 years of postseminary study, for which he earned a Ph.D. The author’s legitimate claim is that, of the twelve accepted categories of systematic theology, the important division of Israelology has been unjustifiably left out.
The purpose of this book is to fill a conspicuous gap in the historical development of the systematic theology of Protestant Christianity. Tustin, CA: Ariel Ministries Press, 1993. Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology.
