Deep dives
The Origins of Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism traces back to the teachings of John Nelson Darby in the 19th century. Darby developed a complex system of theology based on the idea of different dispensations throughout history. He believed that we currently live in the sixth dispensation, known as the dispensation of grace. This dispensation is distinct from the others because it focuses on God's relationship with the church rather than solely with the nation of Israel. Darby's teachings gained influence in the United States through popularizers who spread his ideas in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
