Dispensationalism Comes to America: How the Civil War and the fall of the Confederacy Contributed to the Acceptance of Dispensationalism
Description
John Nelson Darby brought dispensationalism to America during his trips to the United States from 1859 to 1877. However, during these years, America was at the height of the fight against theological liberalism, the abolitionist movement, the Civil War, the emancipation of slaves, and Reconstruction. The question is, what eschatology did Christians in the South espouse before Darby's dispensationalism arrived? And how did the South losing the Civil War and the fall of the Confederacy factor into the acceptance of Dispensationalism? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the historical backdrop of dispensationalism taking root in America. Chances are you have never heard this side of the story. The final question is, Can you handle the truth? Welcome to the Revealtion Revolution!
