Understanding the Relationship Between Biblical Covenants
How can we summarize the message of the Bible while respecting the form in which it is presented? This book highlights the integrating force of the theme of the covenant for the study of how God's saving plan is revealed, from Genesis to Revelation. The traditional divide between dispensationalism and covenant theology is no longer relevant, so the book evaluates models that have emerged in recent decades that advocate varying degrees of continuity and discontinuity in thread of the biblical canon.
In light of the Hebrew structure of the Old Testament and God's covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the Levites, and David, as well as the new covenant in Christ, the study qualifies the newness of the new alliance by means of two expressions: “eschatological fulfillment” and “transcendent establishment”. The practical consequences are numerous, for baptism, evangelization, the law, relations between Church and State, prosperity theology and Christian Zionism.
This book is intended for readers who would like to acquire greater precision and accuracy in understanding God's extraordinary plan of salvation, benefit from an increased ability to righteously dispense Scripture, and experience deeper worship of the Master. .
