| One of the books I found very helpful was Dispensationalism Today, Yesterday, and Tomorrow by Curtis Crenshaw and Grover Gunn, both of whom were former students at DTS. They spoke of the apostolic hermeneutic, i.e., interpreting the OT as the apostles did. It's my impression that dispensationalism isn't always faithful to the apostolic hermeneutic.
