| Summary, etc. | Abstract: This study has sought to establish a link between the theological belief system put forward by Premillennial Dispensationalism and the apparent social disengagement of those within the Body of Christ who subscribe to such an eschatological school of thought. The development of Dispensationalism was subjected to a historical, albeit brief, analysis. This covered the period from its genesis in 19th century Britain up until the present. This analysis concentrated on the main role players in the development of Premillennial Dispensationalism as a modern day theological system. The fact that Premillennialism and Dispensationalism are not synonymous was acknowledged, but the relationship between the two was discussed and evaluated. The Seventy Weeks of Daniel is both the central plank of Premillennial Dispensationalism and the argument of this thesis. With that in view, the study of the prophecy was undertaken from the perspective of the Early Church’s understanding of eschatology and with due regard for ancient Jewish eschatological thought. The goal here was to offer a suggested historical and conservative interpretation of the prophecy. In so doing the Seventy Weeks was discussed along with the identity of the correct royal decree necessary for the correct calculation of the commencement of the period of the fulfilling of the prophecy. In the light of the above, the negative impact of Premillennial Dispensationalism on societal issues was analyzed by way of historical examination. This thesis concluded with a summary of the research findings and an attempt to reconcile the findings to the field of systematic theology. Furthermore, a suggested methodology for the correcting of the practical and doctrinal problems arising from Premillennial Dispensationalism was presented. |
