How do the Old and New Testaments relate to each other? What is the relationship among the biblical covenants? In this volume in IVP Academic's Spectrum series, readers will find four contributors who explore these complex questions, each making a case for their own view and responding to the others' views to offer an animated yet irenic discussion on the continuity of Scripture.
Exploring the complex relationship between Israel, Jesus Christ, and the church, this book examines differing theological perspectives, including evangelical theology, covenant theology, and dispensationalism. It highlights the tension between continuity and discontinuity in these views. Furthermore, it introduces progressive covenantalism as a middle ground, emphasizing the importance of understanding biblical covenants through the lens of Jesus Christ, thereby reshaping the understanding of the people of God in biblical theology.
