Dispensational Understanding of the New Covenant (utgåvan 2012)

"How should we understand the Bible's teaching about the new covenant? Scholars and theologians have debated this question for centuries without reaching a consensus. The three views in this book are unified by a single idea: God will fulfill His new covenant with Israel. Based on papers first presented at the Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics, the authors discuss three models within traditional dispensationalism for understanding the relationship of the new covenant to the church: 1) the church has no legal relationship to or participation in the new covenant; 2) the church has an indirect relationship to the new covenant; or 3) the church has a direct relationship to the new covenant. Each viewpoint is supported by extensive theological, historical, and exegetical research, with responses for each view. Additional studies of historical backgrounds and methodological considerations are also provided."--Publisher description.
