More Thoughts about Dispensational Publishing House/The Greatness of the Kingdom

We will open with a brief review of the resources already available at DispensationalPublishing.com. We 

will especially consider the core principles of DPH—and how those interested in writing for the company 

can explore that possibility.

Scharf will also point to a two-part blog he wrote that appeared on the website on Nov. 2 and 3, entitled 

“Dispensational Distinctions.” Callers are invited to interact with questions and comments related to the 

information presented in this basic introduction to dispensationalism.

For the remainder of this edition of Ask the Theologian (as well as the program on Nov. 10), Scharf will 

discuss how he has been impacted by one of the classic dispensational books of all time—The Greatness 

of the Kingdom by Alva J. McClain (Moody Press, 1968). Here are some of the topics we will consider:

• Who was Alva J. McClain?
• What makes his book so helpful?
• What kingdom did he describe?
• What is the difference between God’s universal kingdom and the theocratic (millennial) kingdom? 
• When will the theocratic kingdom arrive?
• What is God’s goal or purpose for history?
• How does understanding this goal for history help us to grasp other great themes of Scripture?
• How does Old Testament Israel relate to the theocratic kingdom?
• How does the New Testament church relate to the theocratic kingdom?
• How does understanding these issues influence our theology and our practice?
• Why do we need more (and new) books that can impact the church in a manner similar to The 

Greatness of the Kingdom?
