Kingdom Through Covenant: A Biblical-Theological Understanding of the Covenants (Second Edition) - Hardcover

by Peter J. Gentry (Author), Stephen J. Wellum (Author)

Kingdom through Covenant is a careful exposition of how the biblical covenants unfold and relate to one another--a widely debated topic, critical for understanding the narrative plot structure of the whole Bible.

By incorporating the latest available research from the ancient Near East and examining implications of their work for Christology, ecclesiology, eschatology, and hermeneutics, scholars Peter J. Gentry and Stephen J. Wellum present a thoughtful and viable alternative to both covenant theology and dispensationalism.

This second edition features updated and revised content, clarifying key material and integrating the latest findings into the discussion.

• Revised with content, removal of extraneous material, and clarification of key points
• Presents a thoughtful and viable alternative to both covenant theology and dispensationalism, avoiding the extremes and resolving the differences of either view
• Incorporates the latest available research from the ancient Near East
• Used as a textbook in many evangelical seminaries
