Dr. Couch, I am teaching a Sunday school class on Eschatology from the
biblical perspective, which of course means biblical dispensationalism. I
am using as a base Dr. Pentecost’s Things to Come, but I would like
some kind of workbook that would have questions to facilitate
discussion. Do you have any ideas?
Unfortunately, no, not exactly what you are looking for. I might suggest
some other volumes that have questions at the end, though not all of
the books I am mentioning do. I highly recommend the book of my good
friend Dr. Paul Benware, Understanding End Time Prophecy. Also, my The
Gathering Storm that is really selling well. (You can get copies through
me.) I know many people are using Lewis S. Chafer’s Major Bible Themes.
It has a lot of chapters dedicated to prophecy with questions at the
end.
For people to really understand prophecy they need to know that there is
being fought a hermeneutical battle. The allegorists and
amillennialists study with forked tongue, taking half the prophecies in
Scripture literally, and the other half allegorically. My book Classical
Evangelical Hermeneutics gets this all straightened out. Don’t stop
studying "deeply." Most Sunday schools devote, emote, blab, and thinly
pretend to be studying the Word of God. At our church the adult Sunday
school is no different from the church service. Both services put forth
the "teaching" of the Word and not the syrupy "preaching" that is going
on today. People are tired of sermonettes for christianettes!
Hang in and teach the Word with zeal!
Thanks for asking.
Dr. Mal Couch
