Aloha brother,

David Walker gives a short history of Dispensationalism and the men who believed and taught it (very early on). He also writes about "hyper" or "ultra" Dispensationalism (Greek & Latin for the same thing).

He gives a good overview of most of the major variations involved in the doctrine of Dispensationalism.

This book is not like Bullinger's or Stam's works - tedious, pedantic, and "dry as dust". It's a good read and easy to understand, and I highly recommend it, whether a person is familiar with Dispensationalism, or whether they are looking for an excellent introductory work.

I know nothing about Walker's personal history, but I will say that his book is very informative - without getting "lost" in the speculations, suppositions, and opinions that often accompany works on Dispensationalism.
