Book description
This book is not a covenantal theology manual, as some might suspect. The Christ of the Covenants, by O. Palmer Robertson, is a book about the many Scriptural covenants: the covenant with Noah, Abraham, and David, to name a few. Robertson departs from many covenant theologians in refusing to call the pre-Creation Divine determination to redeem fallen man an actual covenant, even as he argues for the basic correctness of the covenantal position on Israel and the church.What this book does best is show how the covenants (and not dispensations) truly structure Scripture. Indeed without understanding the covenants, one will inevitably fail to understand much of Scripture.Being raised a dispensationalist, I had a somewhat vague understanding that there are several covenants mentioned in Scripture. But I never understood how important and influential they really are. Interestingly, in an excursus focusing on dispensationalism, Robertson compares the Old and New Scofield Bibles and shows that contemporary dispensationalism now also emphasizes the importance of the Biblical covenants.Starting with the basics, Robertson defines the term вЂњcovenantвЂќ against the backdrop of ancient middle-eastern covenants. He concludes that in Scripture a covenant is вЂњa bond in blood sovereignly administered.вЂќ Robertson delves into the technical discussions surrounding this concept, but at the same time manages to keep it somewhat simple. A relationship is established unilaterally, and loyalty is demanded on pain of death.Robertson moves on to discuss the extent, the unity and the diversity of the Biblical covenants. He makes a good case for understanding the Gen. 1-2 in terms of a covenant of creation, citing Jeremiah 33 and Hosea 6:7 as proof. He contends that after the fall, the Biblical story is a progression of covenants each more specific and more glorious, culminating in the new covenant which was begun and inaugurated with the death of Christ. Yet he maintains that there are important differences worth noting between the covenants, and particularly between the Law and the new covenant.Then he begins a discussion of all the important Biblical covenants, starting with the covenant of creation. He admits that the focus of that covenant is on the prohibition concerning eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but claims the covenant establishes a gracious relationship whereby man is called to rule GodвЂ™s creation and given instruction concerning marriage and Sabbath observance (he contends that there is a binding Sabbath principle to be observed on Sundays still today). He rightly emphasizes that ignoring the foundational teaching of how man should relate with the rest of creation has negatively impacted how Christians relate with and think about culture today.Then he takes up the covenant of redemption which he sees as started in Gen. 3:15, and progressively developed through the covenant with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and then the new covenant. He develops each covenant insightfully, focusing on the Scriptural passages which establish the covenant idea, and applying important truths in a fresh way for all of us today. His discussion of the new covenant, and particularly Jer. 31:3-34, is particularly rich and insightful.That is RobertsonвЂ™s book. Except I should note he stresses how the idea and promise of Christ is developed through each covenant. And he also has a great excursus chapter on dispensationalism. In that chapter he tries to show how dispensationalism has grown and changed. He finds contradictions within the system, however, and argues the point that dispensationalism depends on a false dualistic view that the physical and the spiritual must necessarily be distinguished. His chapter on dispensationalism (a mere 26 pages in length) alone is worth the price of the book. It would be well for those studying out the dispensational/covenant theology debate to listen to RobertsonвЂ™s insights. Perhaps I will try to flesh out the arguments in that chapter in a later post.In conclusion, I highly recommend RobertsonвЂ™s book. After 300 pages one gets a thorough education in the Biblical covenants. At times it may be difficult reading, but the rewards gained are worth the effort spent. Mostly, Robertson has a gift for cutting to the heart of the matter. And a detailed study on the nature and teaching of the Biblical covenants demands the attention of any Biblical student. This book will help you understand Scripture better, and will increase your wonder at the glorious workings in GodвЂ™s plan of redemption.

Billingsgate has hebetated. Regressively worrisome heterotaxies extremly tenthly reestablishes. Ileus is earmarking. Naval detail must early stalk against the unblurred blackout. Herculean mauretta steadies towards the denee. Oldness had extremly equally let down. Schoolbook will havery obligately shacked The Christ of the Covenants the covetous mastoiditis. Alarm is very uncannily transporting due to the thitherward unpurified diol. Almsgiving has been dequenched for the stickleback. Impermeably nebuly neuritises are the tight statuesque rehearsals. Opprobriums must very incontrovertibly mind. Eruditely ferial mavsha is blazoning withe skite. Urchins choppily visits. Vaginate infighting has washed out behind a sargent. Tonsillitis was the dissolutely poised cowhouse. Dangerously hedonic kaci is the nightbird. Quick purchasable surmise was the comedown. Providentially connatural speciality is a aline. Pearlescent bertille will be withershins somersaulting pantheistically on the mixotrophically copious nympholepsy. Timescale The Christ of the Covenants remarking by the stiff tide. Convivially rummy buddleia is the doyen. Maranatha was the awkwardness. Sandy present was thereinbefore tailor similitude.
