The Problem with Evangelical Theology: Testing the Exegetical Foundations of Calvinism, Dispensationalism, and Wesleyanism

Witherington engages in irrelevant and ad hominem attacks. He has not interacted with, or even significantly referenced, serious dispensational scholarship. The author is entitled to his views but that entitlement does not give him a license to be less than accurate, painting an incomplete and unbalanced picture of dispensationalism. And it certainly does not give him the right to be dismissive, derisive, harsh, or censorious in his unfair criticism of dispensational theology. As one dispensational scholar once wrote: Normative dispensationalism is a legitimate, worthy, and conservative viewpoint. Other Christians do not have to agree with it, but they should represent it fairly and treat its contributions with respect. This is simply a matter of Christian integrity and courtesy. Unfortunately, Witherington misses the mark completely regarding both integrity and scholarship in this book.
