The Newness of the New Covenant
October 16, 2008

There's a new author in town and he has something good to say. His preface will serve to spike your curiosity about New Covenant Theology.

"How one puts the canon together is extremely important. Entire denominations are formed based on differing views of how the Old Testament relates to the New. The two most common theological systems dealing with the relationship of the testaments are Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology, but there have been many revisions of each in the last fifty years. Classic Dispensationalism has largely fallen off the map, thanks in large part to the work of George Eldon Ladd (who built off the insights of Geerhardus Vos and others), while Progressive Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology are still thriving in their various circles. This book will come from a New Covenant Theological perspective. By a brief look at the progressive covenantal framework of the Old Testament, and a closer look at several key texts in the Gospels, Paul, and Hebrews, this book will seek to show that the new covenant is fundamentally and radically new."

On the back cover you will find the kind words of Tom Schreiner and Stephen Wellum encouraging and commending the reader to give Blake White a read. I have read the book and would agree with their sentiments. - Moe Bergeron
