Systematic Theology Scripture Defines Scripture Volume 10: Biblical Covenants: Promise, Oath, Blood, Law, Kingdom, and New Covenant - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

God’s covenants reveal one faithful Lord, one unfolding purpose, and one glorious Christ.

Systematic Theology — Scripture Defines Scripture. Volume 10: The Doctrine of Covenants is a Scripture-driven study of the biblical covenants, tracing how God binds Himself by promise, oath, blood, law, blessing, curse, kingdom, and New Covenant mercy. Rather than forcing Scripture into an inherited system, this volume allows the Bible to define its own covenant language and show how each covenant fits within the whole counsel of God.

From the covenant foundations before Israel to Noah, Abraham, Sinai, the priesthood, David, the prophets, and the New Covenant established in the blood of Christ, this volume follows the covenant-making God through the unfolding story of Scripture. It examines the difference between promise and oath, the relationship between law and promise, the seriousness of covenant blood, the reality of blessing and curse, the hope of David’s throne, the prophetic promise of restoration, and the glory of Christ as the Mediator of the New Covenant.

This volume gives special attention to one of the most important interpretive issues in covenant theology: fulfillment without cancellation. Christ fulfills the covenants, but He does not make God’s words less true. He confirms the promises, secures the blessing, bears the curse, establishes the New Covenant, and brings God’s covenant purpose to its appointed fullness.

Inside this volume, readers will find:

• A Scripture-defined study of the major biblical covenants

• Careful treatment of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the New Covenant

• A biblical distinction between promise, oath, law, blood, blessing, and curse

• A Christ-centered approach that does not erase covenant details

• A clear defense of fulfillment without cancellation

• A serious examination of Israel, the nations, and New Covenant blessing

• A reverent focus on the faithfulness of God to every word He has spoken

Volume 10: The Doctrine of Covenants can be read on its own as a complete study of biblical covenant theology. It also functions as part of the larger 24-volume Systematic Theology — Scripture Defines Scripture series, which seeks to build doctrine from Scripture’s own words, patterns, promises, and fulfillment.

Written for pastors, teachers, serious Bible students, and thoughtful Christians, this volume calls readers to handle God’s covenants with reverence, precision, and worship.

The God who makes covenant keeps covenant.
