Synopsis

Understanding the Basics and Blessings of Covenant Theology From animal sacrifice in the Old Testament to baptism and Communion in the New Testament, the Bible can seem like it contains vastly different instructions for how God's people are to worship him through visible means. But Scripture is a complete story of redemption, one that is breathtaking in its unity. By observing how all biblical events connect through God’s covenants with his people, believers can better grasp the beauty of the triune God and the breathtaking unity of Scripture, knowing the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit.  In this practical introduction, professor Ryan McGraw gives listeners a framework for understanding the structure of the Bible. Explaining the blessing of covenant theology, he reveals how the sacraments illustrate God’s relationship with his people throughout the ages and help unify all parts of Scripture, from God’s promises in Genesis to their fulfillment in Revelation. Exploring the covenants of redemption, works, and grace, this audiobook will give readers clarity about the gospel, and teach them how to live in fellowship with the triune God and others.

Fantastic book. Not an in depth introduction to covenant theology, but rather a cursory look at the idea of covenants throughout the Bible and how that impacts believers today.

-Seems to tell more than show -Lacks clarity -I didn’t always follow his logic. -This wouldn’t be the resource I would pass to someone who wants to know the basics of covenant theology. Someone recommended that I read Christ of the Covenant and Far as the Curse is Found. However, I do like the color of......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on November 14, 2024

McGraw's book was a sufficient, brief introduction to Covenant Theology. I disagreed with his comments regarding baptism and church membership (being a Baptist). I found his final chapter with questions and answers about Covenant Theology to be very helpful. These questions also included a discussio......more

I read books that I disagree with, and I enjoy it. Regardless of how the next comments that I have to make sound, I did enjoy this book and it will promptly return to my shelf. I feel that I have two reviews to make. One regarding his theology, and one stemming from my theology. My rating comes purel......more
