Yes!!! Praise God!!!

Still a worthy read at age 24

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2013

It has been 24 years since the late Greg Bahnsen and Kenneth Gentry published their response to certain dispensationalist critiques of postmillennialism in general and Christian Reconstructionism in particular. While "House Divided" is first and foremost a response to "Dominion Theology: Blessing or Curse?" by Wayne House and Thomas Ice, it also deals with arguments found in Dave Hunt's "Whatever Happened to Heaven?" and Hal Lindsey's "The Road to Holocaust."

Although written in a forthright and confrontative tone, Bahnsen and Gentry are fair to their dispensational opponents. In this, they have done a far better job of dealing with the issues and fairly characterizing dispensationalism than has John Gerstner in "Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth," a book that contains a significant number of straw man arguments against the dispensationalist position. Bahnsen and Gentry not only show the theological weaknesses and tenuous arguments of dispensationalism, but they also do an excellent job of rebutting the dispensationalist attacks on their position.

Though nearly two and a half decades have passed since the coauthoring of this book, "House Divided" is still one of the best books on the market for understanding the dispensationalist position and for finding out what's wrong with it. It also provides a helpful clarification of the Christian Reconstructionist position and shows why many of the attacks by dispensationalists and other opponents are misguided. Even if you do not agree with the Reconstructionist position, this book is definitely worth reading because of its clarity of expression and its careful presentation of the essential core of Christian Reconstruction.

A RESPONSE/COUNTERATTACK TO CRITICS OF CHRISTIAN RECONSTRUCTION

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012

Greg L. Bahnsen (1948-1995) was a Calvinist philosopher, apologist, Christian Reconstructionist, and skilled debater. He was an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and a full time Scholar in Residence for the Southern California Center for Christian Studies. Kenneth L. Gentry, Jr. (born 1950) is a Reformed theologian, and an ordained minister in the Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly.

Kenneth Gentry wrote in the Preface to this 1989 book, "From 1966 to 1975 I was a dispensationalist... While studying at Grace Theological Seminary, two influences converged causing me to reject dispensationalism. The first was my researching a paper on the Lordship Controversy... The second was the discovery ... of O.T. Allis's Prophecy and the Church . This work bulldozed the residue of my collapsed dispensationalism."

They suggest that their critics "choose to report and focus upon (Rousas J.) Rushdoony's idiosyncratic view of the continuing validity of the laws regarding diet and mixed-fibre clothing, and on (Gary) North's endorsement of stoning as the method of capital punishment even today. It is hard to find other Reconstructionists who agree with Rushdoony on this point... and it is easy to find other theonomists who present cogent counter-arguments to North..." (Pg. 71-72)

They forcefully state, "(In Mt. 24) What things shall be fulfilled in 'this generation'? 'ALL THESE THINGS.' That is, all these things of which He had just spoken... Read Revelation 1:1 for yourself! Does not John specifically say things 'must SHORTLY come to pass'? ... And in case the reader skipped the introduction, he repeats these ideas as he closes (in Revelation 22)." (Pg. 266-268)

About the claim of a "gap" between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel, they scoff, "Now who can take seriously a claim to 'precise accuracy' of fulfillment of Daniel 9 on this basis? Consider the situation: Daniel predicts 70 weeks of years. Though the whole prophetic period in Daniel covers 490 years, the dispensationalist has inserted a 1,966 year gap (so far!) into those weeks of years. Thus, the gap has already covered a period of time almost four times larger than the whole period of 490 years!" (Pg. 276)

This is a confrontational, but thought-provoking examination of Dispensationalism.

Hard to put down!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

It is unusual for me to pick up a book and not be able to put it down. This was definitely one of those books. The book is logically organized and written in an easy to understand style.
I found the writers making a biblical and historical defence of the Reconstructionist position that, although I am not completely convinced, I am intrigued to investigate further. The book does make an excellent argument for the Post Millennium position while completely dismantling the pessimistic Dispensational view. The Appendix even contains a side by side comparison of the Jehovah Witnesses positions with the similarities of the Dispensationalist.

Although the book is written as a response to Dominion Theology by House and Ice from a Reconstructionist point of view, those whom do not hold such a position will still find the book worthy of reading. I have been instilled with a new sense of excitement concerning the Post Mil/Partial Preterist position after reading thus book because: a) It is biblical and makes the Bible more grandeur, b) It is historical as far back as the early church fathers, c) God is displayed as being more sovereign( If that's possible) and in complete control, d) There is a much higher level of hope and victory led by King Jesus, e) How we view evangelism is radically influenced by our eschatology, f) Biblical prophecy is larger and more accurate than the Dispensationalist who uses the latest headlines to guide them, g) Jesus is ruling and reigning and is not in a position of defeat.
