The Old Testament covenants provide a foundation for God's work
throughout history and a thorough understanding of them is
necessary for a clear realization of what Jesus' death and
sacrifice meant. But that was only part of the story, and a
thorough grasp of the covenants is also necessary to understand how
the rest of the story works out and why there is good reason for
the coming hope presented in the New Testament.
--Paul D. Wegner, Director of the Advanced Studies Programs, Golden
Gate Theological Seminary Doug Kennard, using the well-established
Hittite covenant form, has proposed a comprehensive biblical
theology that steers between the Scylla of traditional Covenant
theology and Charybdis of Dispensationalism, taking in both Old and
New Testaments. For the evangelical world this is in many ways
breathtaking, creative, and comprehensive, as well as readable.
Within that theological context it is indeed a must-read.
--Peter H. Davids, Visiting Professor of Bible and Applied
Theology, Houston Graduate School of Theology
