INTRODUCTION: 1 PROLOGUE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
It will be observed that in
the Gospel records the words steward and stewardship (or dispensation) are used
in the literal, physical, and material sense; whereas Paul uses these words in
the spiritual sense of God’s household., It is from Paul’s use of the word that
dispensationalists get their authority for applying this term to other divine
arrangements in other ages. If Paul could rightfully apply the word oikonomia
to the present plan and program of God, then it should be proper to apply it to
any past or future arrangements of the plan and will of God. The dictionary
definition, quoted earlier, recognizes this usage in speaking of the Mosaic
dispensation.
