2025 Call for Papers

Eighteenth Annual Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics

“Counterpoint:

Comparative Views on Key Biblical Passages”

Southern California Seminary, El Cajon, California

September 17-18, 2025

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.

The Bible and Economic Systems

The Bible and Forms of Government

Is there a biblical form of government? In the Old Testament there was a period of monarchies.  In the future when Christ returns, there will be a supreme monarchy and I won’t be in charge! In the United States, we often celebrate the democratic republican form of...
