Whether it is realized or not, every person has a system of theology. It may be a highly developed one, or it may be a very simplistic one. It may be well formulated with a careful and purposeful consistency, or it may be just a few convictions about several individual doctrines with no overall relationship to one another or concern for a harmony of the whole Two of the strongest systems of our day are know as Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. Throughout this century they have been challenging one another for consideration in the minds of Christians. In this present work Richard P. Belcher seeks in the first two chapters to state in an objective manner the convictions of both systems. In the final chapter he compares the two in important areas of thinking. In the conclusion he give instruction for a Christian to consider as he seeks build a system of theology, or as he tries to understand which system of theology is really Scriptural. Dr. Richard P. Belcher has been in active ministry for the time he graduated from high school in the early fifties. He has pastored, taught in a Bible college, and still travels all over the world in the ministry of the Word of God. He holds degrees from Wheaton College, Covenant Seminary, and a doctorate of theology from Concordia Theology Seminary in St. Louis. He is the author of numerous other books in the field of Bible study, theology, language, and biography.
