AB Much is at stake in evangelical Christan theology when considering "the covenants" - Old Testament and New Testament.; Theologically, how do we align the concerns of a popular conservative Christian culture that may rightly worry about the place of the Ten Commandments in the public square with a message that often seems to stress that those same commandments have all been nailed to the cross? Is it all really so simple as "Old Testament = law" versus "New Testament = grace?" Between whom are these two covenants mae? How are the two covenants the same? And ultimately, are they really different?; These are not new question in reformed theology and among evangelicals. But their answers are best found, not in the traditions of theological interpretation, but in a careful Scriptural analysis of salvation history itself.; This, in this important new contribution to covenant theology, Seventh-day Advantist scholar Hans LaRondelle, professor emeritus of theology, chronologically traces through salvation history the footsteps of the Creator Redeemer in progressively revealing His covenant promises and His judgments. From a "redemption-historical" perspective, based on careful exegesis, the author outlines the unity and continuity of God's covenants with His chosen people. - Theologically, how do we align the concerns of a popular conservative Christian culture that may rightly worry about the place of the Ten Commandments in the public square with a message that often seems to stress that those same commandments have all been nailed to the cross?Is it all really so simple as "Old Testament = law" versus "New Testament = grace?"
