"This volume defends covenant theology not as a theological abstraction foisted on the Scripture but rather as the clear teaching of Scripture itself. The contributors present covenant theology through explorations in biblical, systematic, and historicaltheology, all from a confessional Reformed perspective. The book is addressed primarily to the church, a resource for the student in the seminary class, the pastor seeking continuing education, and educated laypeople looking for enrichment in their knowledge of biblical doctrine. The contributors seek to show that covenant theology is exegetical, Trinitarian, eschatological, historical, confessional, technical, charitable, and practical"--
This book explores the biblical covenants and how they form the structure of the Bible and inform the Christian life. Featuring contributions from 26 scholars, this monumental work in reformed scholarship is biblically grounded, systematically conveyed, and historically connected.
A Comprehensive Exploration of the Biblical Covenants
This book forms an overview of the biblical teaching on covenant as well as the practical significance of covenant for the Christian life. A host of 26 scholars shows how covenant is not only clearly taught from Scripture, but also that it lays the foundation for other key doctrines of salvation. The contributors, who engage variously in biblical, systematic, and historical theology, present covenant theology not as a theological abstract imposed on the Bible but as a doctrine that is organically presented throughout the biblical narrative. As students, pastors, and church leaders come to see the centrality of covenant to the Christian faith, the more the church will be strengthened with faith in the covenant-keeping God and encouraged in their understanding of the joy of covenant life.
