INTRODUCTION: 1 PROLOGUE

A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY

By Charles F Baker

Ryrie gives what he calls a concise definition: “A dispensation is a distinguishable economy in the outworking of God’s purpose.”[1] He also comments: “A dispensation is from God’s viewpoint an economy; from man’s, a responsibility; and in relation to progressive revelation, a stage in it.”[2]
