How "New" is the New Covenant?: Jesus is Lord - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The New Covenant is radically different than what preceded it, and those differences are often not well understood. Some would have us believe that Jesus came just to make some minor adjustments in understanding of the Old Covenant, and that the New Covenant is just a renewal of the Old Covenant with Israel. Others think that the ethics Jesus taught prior to Pentecost do not apply to believers today. This book examines the implications of "Jesus is Lord" on the foundation of the New Covenant. The implications of "Jesus is Lord" upon the Church, Second Temple Judaism, Rome/Caesar, the Scriptures, Paul andTorah, and the so-called Jewish Roots or Jewish Restorationism Movement are also discussed. The declaration--Jesus is Lord-- had profound and radical implications on the culture, society, theology, and politics of the day in which Christ and the apostles lived. If we do not understand how radical it was in their day, it is unlikely we will understand its radical implications on us today.
