Welcome to the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics

The Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics was started in 2008 to provide a forum for discussion among traditional dispensationalists in the important areas of hermeneutics and theological method. In biblical studies, the last several decades have complicated interpretation.  Such issues have been discussed in several forums where traditional dispensationalists interact with those of other persuasions.  There was no official forum, however, for traditionalists to discuss issues among themselves.  The Council was started to meet that particular need.  CDH has one annual two-day meeting in different parts of North America usually in the month of September.  Local church pastors are invited to attend the meetings so that the discussions among the academic community can be grounded in every day ministry concerns.

Israel and Iran at War

By Dr. Mike Stallard June 15, 2025 It would be quite natural and correct to assume that, since my primary ministry is with the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, I support the nation of Israel on most occasions. While I do not believe in “Israel, right or wrong” in...

Hermeneutics Consistency

I am struck by the fact that many Christians do not read their Bible consistently.  That is, they have a dual hermeneutic – one for the New Testament, but a different one for the Old Testament. In particular, when many interpreters come to passages about the...

Why Does God Delay? Answer #3

The third response to why God delays the Second Coming is that God is patient or longsuffering (2 Peter 3:9). In particular, this patience is directed toward sinners having a chance to come to God, who is “not willing that any should perish but that all should come to...

Why Does God Delay? Answer #2

In 2 Peter 3, the second answer to those who mock the fact that there appears to be a delay in the Second Coming is that God is not bound by time like you and me (vv. 8-9). This truth is stated in two ways. First, “with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a...
