Consigned by the Reformation to a life apart from the Christian community which had given it birth, the interpretation of Holy Scripture came to be understood, at least initially, as something purely subjective, its meaning given by an act of the Holy Spirit working both with the believer and the words themselves. But with the coming of the Enlightenment and the challenges it posed to Protestant faith, its lack of a uniform theological outlook and Pope, this subjectivist understanding of inspiration transmogrified into one in which the Scripture itself was seen as a given, as itself objectively inspired. It was as though God had deposited an instruction book at the feet of the believer to be dissected rationally much as one might examine some object of scientific inquiry. The rationalism which inspired this outlook, revolutionary even within Protestantism at the time, and its formulaic expression, the Hodge/Warfield doctrine, became the mechanism for the working out of the curious departures represented by pre-millenial dispensationalism. Today, with Protestantism degenerated into a post-Enlightenment liberalism and a positivist fundamentalism, dispensationalism thrives by virtue of its claim to this objectivist authority. Yet its content remains a hideous distortion of the faith that has emerged over two-thousand years of Christian history.
