Just yesterday I had the opportunity to chat with a recent grad of Dallas Theological Seminary. He reports that Dispensationalism, while still alive at DTS is waning. There is a new group of “progressives” that admit that much of the detail of Dispensationalism has been “proven wrong” (his words). About all that is left is a belief that Israel will somehow play a role in the Second Coming. When I asked him what is being said about 1948 (establishment of the modern state of Israel), he said that even that is no longer sacrosanct. The young man does not know what to think about eschatology and is even giving some aspects or Preterism a look.
Have you looked at the www.chafer.edu school in Albuquerque?
I doubt if I would feel at home at DTS either.
