Explanation of Dispensationalism

Dispensationalism is a teaching that interprets the Bible by dividing history into different 'ages' or dispensations. It gained popularity in the 20th century and is often associated with the Scofield Reference Bible. The doctrine typically identifies seven ages, each characterized by a specific way God interacts with humanity. These ages include innocence, conscience, human government, promise, law, grace or the church age, and the millennial kingdom to come.
