Dr.
Chafer’s words form a fitting conclusion to this chapter on the relation of dispensationalism
to Theology:
God’s program is as important
to the theologian as the blueprint to the builder or the chart to the mariner.
Without the knowledge of it, the preacher must drift aimlessly in doctrine and
fail to a large degree in his attempts to harmonize and utilize the Scriptures.
Doubtless a spiritually minded person who does not know the divine program may
discern isolated spiritual truths, much as one might enjoy a point of rare
color in a painting without observing the picture itself or the specific
contribution which that color makes to the whole.
In spite of its importance as one of the qualifying features of doctrine, Systematic Theology, as
set forth generally in textbook, is without recognition of the divine program
of the ages.6

Press, 1947), I, p. xiii.
