Satisfaction Atonement

[JonC]

The first and most noticeable difference is the interpretation of Scripture.

Dispensationalism follows a literal interpretation until it becomes obvious it's not literal. That's a thorn in the rear of the Calvinists.

Covenant Theology starts out in a similar way but has a twist of spiritualizing the covenants of works, grace, and redemption in the prophesies of Israel and the Church.

It is. Calvinists most commonly associate with Covenant Theology. Dispensationalism proved a little too biblical - didn't fit the rest of their theology.

And that's just about the bottom line< JonC.

To be fair, they are being honest about it. Its like the illustration of boiling a frog (tepid water, hear slowly).

They really see extra covenants, the spiritualizing of the covenants of works, grace, and redemption in the Bible. They are not in the biblical text, but they see them there nonetheless.
