Michele,

There are quite a number of "flavors" of Dispensationalism today, so I can't make a definitive statement in regard to your question as to whether it effects only or mainly "eschatology". However, on the other hand I can say that Dispensationalism in ALL its various varieties effects more than simply eschatology. Further, "eschatology" deals far more than simply the "Second Coming", as even salvation is "eschatological". When you understand that eschatology is the doctrine of study that deals with the "last things"... with a heavy emphasis upon "things", you will realize that everything has a "telos", or end, purpose which God has ordained, even our salvation. So, the ramifications are complex and encompass a myriad subjects. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

As to where to start reading? I would point you here:

1) The Christian and the Law: PRAXIS: The Doctrine of the Christian Life.

2) Dispensationalism, etc.,: ESCHATOLOGY: The Doctrine of Last Things.

In His Grace,
