Backgrounds to dispensationalism: its historical Genesis and ecclesiastical..,c.1-2

This book is a republication of Bass's Backgrounds to Dispensationalism, which originally appeared in 1960. The new Wipf & Stock edition is printed on somewhat glossy paper, so the reader has to adjust the page to avoid glare. The dark font is small, about 9.5 points in the text and 7.5 points in block quotations. It also seems to have suffered in duplication - the edges of some characters are hazy, ragged, or wavy.

Bass's thesis is that Darby introduced several new concepts into Christian thinking, and that these novelties formed the basis of modern dispensationalism. Probably few people today doubt Darby influenced dispensationalism, although many, I think, would disagree that new concepts are invariably erroneous. In addition, several ideas that appear in Darby's writings, such as futurism, the principle of literal interpretation, and the belief in the restoration of the Jews to Palestine, were commonplace in early nineteenth century British premillennial thought. In my opinion, if Bass had surveyed millenarian views from Mede through Bickersteth, he could have established what is genuinely novel in Darby and his argument would have had more force.
