Kingdom through Covenant: A Biblical-Theological Understanding of the Covenants

, 2012

Overview

The disciplines of biblical and systematic theology join forces to investigate anew the biblical covenants and the implications of such a study for understanding how God relates to his people. By incorporating the latest available research from the ancient Near East and examining implications of their work for Christology, ecclesiology, eschatology, and hermeneutics—biblical scholar Peter Gentry and systematic theologian Stephen Wellum present a thoughtful, exegetically based viable alternative to both covenant theology and dispensationalism.
