The 10th annual meeting of the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics is being held in Jackson Hall on the campus of Clarks Summit University and Baptist Bible Seminary. The dates are September 13-14, 2017. Our group is a discussion group for traditional dispensationalists who try in an irenic way to discuss hermeneutical and theological issues among ourselves. It is a discussion group more than a presenter group although papers are, of course, the basis of our discussions. The meetings are primarily for Bible college and Seminary professors and pastors but others interested in what we are doing may attend. There is no charge to attend but all travel, lodging, and meal costs are up to the attenders. The theme this year is “Dispensationalism and the Glory of God.” The schedule is below.
