Synopsis

What is a covenant? Asking for a definition of "covenant" is like asking for a definition of "mother." A mother may be defined as the person who brought you into the world. That definition may be correct formally. But who would be satisfied with such a definition?

Scripture clearly testifies to the significance of the divine covenants. God has entered repeatedly into covenantal relationships with particular men. Explicit references may be found to a divine covenant established with Noah, Abraham, Israel, and David. Israel's prophets anticipated the coming of the days of the "new covenant," and Christ himself spoke of the last supper in covenantal language.

But what is a covenant?

Robertson leaves no stone unturned as he explains the Bible's covenants. As he explores each covenant in depth, he helps us to see their unity, diversity, and place in the history of redemption.

Goodreads review by Alan on January 24, 2019

Um clássico da teologia aliancista. A maneira como Robertson argumenta em oposição ao dispensacionalismo é arguta. Recentemente vi um vídeo do Marcos Granconato, no qual ele apenas faz chacotas com o livro do Dr. Robertson, mas não apresenta uma única crítica apropriada e fundamentada. Aqui está uma......more

Goodreads review by Kofi on June 03, 2024

This was a solid argument and defense of covenant continuity. Very well researched. His critique of dispensationalism was also fair and compelling. Glad to have read this work.......more

Goodreads review by Timothy on August 24, 2022

Most, if not all books, are more helpful to teaching the reader of the subject matter if there is not a large gap of months between reading the first and second halves. That being said, I appreciated the way Robertson structured his book and the many Scripture references provided in support of his c......more
