Building on the foundation of Kingdom through Covenant (Crossway, 2012), Stephen J. Wellum and Brent E. Parker have assembled a team of scholars who offer a fresh perspective regarding the interrelationship between the biblical covenants. Each chapter seeks to demonstrate how the covenants serve as the backbone to the grand narrative of Scripture. For example, New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner writes on the Sabbath command from the Old Testament and thinks through its applications to new covenant believers. Christopher Cowan wrestles with the warning passages of Scripture, texts which are often viewed by covenant theologians as evidence for a "mixed" view of the church. Jason DeRouchie provides a biblical theology of "seed" and demonstrates that the covenantal view is incorrect in some of its conclusions. Jason Meyer thinks through the role of law in both the old and new covenants. John Meade unpacks circumcision in the OT and how it is applied in the NT, providing further warrant to reject covenant theology's link of circumcision with (infant) baptism. Oren Martin tackles the issue of Israel and land over against a dispensational reading, and Richard Lucas offers an exegetical analysis of Romans 9-11, arguing that it does not require a dispensational understanding. From issues of ecclesiology to the warning passages in Hebrews, this book carefully navigates a mediating path between the dominant theological systems of covenant theology and dispensationalism to offer the reader a better way to understand God's one plan of redemption.

Die Vorstellung, der Gott Jahwe habe unter Mose mit seinem Volk Israel einen "Bund" bzw. "Vertrag" geschlossen, spielt im Alten Testament eine prominente Rolle. Zahlreiche formale und inhaltliche Parallelen zwischen altorientalischen Vasallenverträgen und Treueiden auf der einen und dem Buch Deuteronomium auf der anderen Seite machen es wahrscheinlich, dass politische Vertragstexte den theologischen Anstoß und die literarische Vorlage für die biblische Bundestheologie gebildet haben. Wie genau das Verhältnis zwischen Bundestheologie und altorientalischem Vertragsrecht zu bestimmen ist, ist freilich in der gegenwärtigen Forschung höchst umstritten. Die vorliegende Untersuchung versucht, vor dem Hintergrund des derzeit verfügbaren altorientalischen und biblischen Quellenmaterials den komplizierten Weg eines politischen Herrschaftsinstruments des Alten Orients ins Alte Testament nachzuzeichnen. Dabei sind die folgenden Fragestellungen leitend: 1. Woher stammen die in den bundestheologischen Texten rezipierten vertragsrechtlichen Traditionen? 2. Wann ist die Bundestheologie ausgebildet worden? 3. Wie könnte der Rezeptionsprozess verlaufen sein, an dessen Ende die Bundestheologie stand?

The struggle to read Jeremiah 31:31-34 as Christian Scripture has a long and divided history, cutting across nearly every major locus of Christian theology. Yet little has been done either to examine closely the varieties of interpretation in the Christian tradition from the post-Nicene period to the modern era, or to make use of such interpretations as helpful interlocutors. This work begins with Augustine's interpretation of Jer 31:31-34 as an absolute contrast between unbelief and faith, rather than the now-standard reading (found in Jerome) of a contrast between two successive religio-historical eras-one that governed Israel (the "old covenant") and a new era and its covenant inaugurated in the coming of Christ. Augustine's absolute contrast loosened the strict temporal concern, so that the faithful of any era were members of the "new covenant." The study traces Augustine's reading of an absolute contrast in a few key moments of Christian interpretation: Thomas Aquinas and high medieval theology, then the 16th and 17th century Reformed tradition. The thesis aims at a constructive reading of Jer 31:31-34, and so the struggle identified in these moments in the Christian tradition is brought into dialogue with modern critical discussions from Bernhard Duhm to the present. Finally, the author turns to an exegetical argument for an 'Augustinian' reading of the contrast of the covenants.
