Covenant Theology

Plot

Covenant Theology brings together a number of perspectives on this important feature of Christian tradition from across the theological discipline. Based on four lectures delivered at the University of Liverpool between 1997 and 2000, each address is followed by a response, allowing respected scholars of the field to engage in lively and public debate. The progression from Old Testament to New Testament, then to systematic theology and pastoral theology is intentional, as readers are encouraged to view theology as an integrative discipline rather than a series of fragmented specialties with little or no relation to one another. With contributions from Clark, Dunn, Badcock and Gill, this academic book combines fresh and new insights with more traditional approaches, and makes for an informed and interesting read.· Lively public debate from key scholars responding to each point.· Discussions from the full length of the Bible.· Practical in its application.· Wide view of theological debate.· Links theology to other disciplines.· Encourages everyone to join the debate
