Is Dispensationalism new as some people claim? Dr. James Fazio will respond to this OLD accusation that is repeated ad nauseam.

Dr. Fazio is the Dean of Bible and Theology at Southern California Seminary. He also serves as Professor of Biblical Studies, specializing in hermeneutics and historical literature. He is the author and editor of several books including Forged from Reformation, Brethren and the Church, and Discovering Dispensationalism. He specialized in, and has done extensive research on, John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren. This makes him the perfect guest for this podcast episode. He has been on the Bible and Theology Matters podcast before to discuss the history of Dispensational thought.

In November of 2024, Dr. Fazio and I were at the Evangelical Theological Society, which is a gathering of evangelical professors and scholars from all over the world. Well over 2,000 are in attendance each year. Various scholarly research papers are presented, after which dialogue ensues. Dr. Fazzio presented a paper that addressed the old accusation that Dispensationalism is new, novel, sometimes even called a "theological innovation" that was masterminded by John Nelson Darby. In the podcast Dr. Weaver and Dr. Fazzio discuss Dr. Fazzio's paper that addresses this issue.
