Anybody know much about the new (complete guide...dispensational controversy) pre-pub?

Specifically, I'm wanting to know if it addresses hyperdispensationalism at all? I've been on a quest for books refuting hyperdispensationalism and have had a hard time finding many that mention it at all, let alone thoroughly address it. (Please note, I have no desire to start a conversation on the view, rather I'm specifically looking for Logos resources that deal with it)
On a side note, what are some other names for the view? I know of hyperdispensationalism, ultradispensationalism, and Bullingerism. Are there other terms? Searching for any of these three terms in my library returns very few hits (though admittedly I have a rather small library) and I'm wondering if I'm just searching for the wrong term.

There's a little bit more than a page on ultradispensationalism in the Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 2nd edition (edited by Walter Elwell). It includes a bibliography at the end of the article.
Lewis Sperry Chafer takes on Bullinger in a section of his Systematic Theology, volume 4, starting on p. 127.
There are brief articles on ultradispensationalism in The Concise Dictionary of Christian Theology, The Moody Handbook of Theology (section titled "Extreme of Dispensationalism"), Nelson's New Christian Dictionary, The Zondervan Encyclopedia of the Bible, and The Dictionary of Christianity in America.
I'm guessing that only moderate dispensationalists would bother to refute hyperdispensationalism, since those who are already on the other side of the theological spectrum from dispensationalism wouldn't have any interest in arguing with the more extreme representatives of the dispensationalist side. You'd probably find some good stuff in Charles Ryrie's Dispensationalism Today (an older version of which, called simply Dispensationalism, is available as part of the Charles Ryrie Collection). But here's the blurb about the newer version, from Amazon.com: "Dispensationalism continues to provoke heated debate within the Christian world. Highly acclaimed theologian Dr. Charles Ryrie addresses this crucial issue from the perspective of classic dispensationalism. He confronts the views of covenant theology, historical premillennialism, ultradispensationalism, and in this revised edition, the increasingly popular progressive dispensationalism. In his bestselling book Dispensationalism, written more than thirty years ago, Dr. Ryrie made this complex subject more understandable for tens of thousands worldwide. This revised and expanded version of that book will prove to be an invaluable reference tool for your library."
I'm not a dispensationalist at all, just found this stuff by doing a bit of searching (with "Match all word forms" turned on) in my rather large library, which admittedly has a dearth of dispensationalist materials.
EDIT: For some reason, all my links above were broken. I don't know what I did wrong. I copied and pasted them as URLs. If you hover over them, they turn green and underlined, but you can't see the links to Logos resources. Oh well, you'll just have to open them and find the locations yourself. Sorry.

I think the forum editor doesn't recognized them as URLs. You'll have to edit the HTML directly to post Logos links here. I edited these to remove the "/forums/EditPost.aspx/" portion that you find in the link in the HTML source:

EDIT: THAT didn't work... the editor added the part of the link I removed right back in.
So, we have a Logos forum that is incompatible with Logos links.

I've wrestled with this before. I think I've also seen other people successfully create links to Logos from the forum in the past, and I thought I'd done it before too. But Logos seems to have recently changed the protocol for Logos links from libronixdls: to logosres: and maybe the forum software hasn't been updated to recognize that.

Yep, I just posted a new thread about it.

Norm Geisler's systematic theology, a Logos resource, has an apologetic coverage on many issues. It includes a strong refutation of hyperdispensationalism.
Geisler, Norman L. Systematic Theology, Volume Four: Church, Last Things. Minneapolis, MN: Bethany House Publishers, 2005.
If you would like see a bit of it via pdf, post your email address.

Thanks for the recommendation Scott, and yes, I'd like to see a bit if you don't mind. Send it to ron dot keyston at evrazincna dot com.
Thanks again,
Ron
