Here is a direct quote: Quote: |
"Covenantal theologians are wrong, and so are dispensationalists. There are covenants, and there are dispensations, but you’d be more accurate to say that the reality laid out in scripture makes you a covenantal dispensationalist, or a dispensational covenantalist. As for the defining characteristics of covenantal theologians and dispensationalists you need to be warned to stay away from either camp."

It does not seem like that quote alone has enough meat on it's bones to be able to understand exactly what he is getting at. Sometimes a statement like that is used as an excuse as to why the person is going to avoid looking into the issue. Rather than search out all the issues involved, they make a broad generalization that they can just dismiss.
You might want to see what exagtly his understanding of covenant is/and also the word dispensations.
