INTRODUCTION: 3 WHY THEOLOGY?
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Thiessen makes the following observation:

Oratorical, textual, or topical preaching may bind the congregation to the preacher; but when the preacher leaves the people also leave. Joseph Parker and T. DeWitt Talmadge may be cited as men of great oratorical powers who built up large congregations by their oratory; but City Temple in London fell into the hands of R. J. Campbell, the founder of the New Theology, soon after Parker’s death, and the Brooklyn Tabernacle into the hands of Charles T. Russell and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.⁴
