How exactly are you defining "Dispensationalism?" You do realize that discontinuity is not equated with "dispensationalism" correct? Dispensationalism is a specific theological view of the Bible. It does involve hermenuetics that recognize discontinuity, but recognizing aspects of discontinuity between the testaments as Baptist CTers do, does not equate dispensationalism. To suggest it does demonstrates a woeful ignorance of Dispensational theology.
Fredman, first I am not speaking about Dispensationalism, “a specific theological view of the Bible,” as you stated! Second, I stated that some interpret the Bible using a dispensational hermeneutic, which is different than mere Dispensationalism. This is freehand, a short method, of stating that someone sees less continuity between the OC and the NC. I am speaking of hermeneutics and not merely a form of premillennialism originating among the Plymouth Brethren, (a central doctrine being the distinction between Israel and the church, stressing discontinuity … in the OC/NC...) etc.

Perhaps you could specify some passages from Malone's work where you believe he is "dispensational" or engages in a "dispensational" hermenuetic?
I used the example of Jer 31 earlier which is already posted and been refuted here at the Highway….. Several of the discussions can be viewed here or, as stated before, you can see his hermeneutic analyzed here (please check out all Strawbridge's resources). Or, you can do a search for Malone here at the Highway and get over 125 hits …
