    Covenants-Part4a-Covenant-Theology-And

    COVENANTS OF GOD There are 7 main covenants of God with man that most Christians recognise: 1. Edenic covenant 2. Adamic covenant 3. Noahic covenant 4. Abrahamic covenant 5. Mosaic covenant (Old Testament) 6. Davidic covenant 7. New covenant (New Testament) BIBLICAL FRAMEWORKS There are 3 main Protestant views on covenantal frameworks for biblical interpretation: 1. Covenant Theology (17th century) 2. Dispensationalism (19th century) 3. New Covenant Theology (20th century) Catholics have also recently developed a covenantal framework. .Covenantal Theology (mid-20th century) COVENANT OF REDEMPTION What is called Covenant Theology stems from the Westminster Confession of Faith. The Westminster Confession of Faith is a Reformed confession of faith. Drawn up by the 1646 Westminster Assembly … to be a confession of the Church of England, it became and remains the "subordinate standard" of doctrine in the Church of Scotland and has been influential within Presbyterian churches worldwide. It was modified and adopted by Congregationalists in England in the form of the Savoy Declaration (1658). * * https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Confession_of_Faith COVENANT THEOLOGY Covenant theology views the history of God’s dealings with man under the framework of 2 or 3 “theological covenants”: • COVENANT OF REDEMPTION 1 FATHER AND SON • COVENANT OF WORKS 2 GOD AND ADAM • COVENANT OF GRACE 3 GOD AND THE ELECT COVENANT OF REDEMPTION 1) The Covenant of Redemption is the eternal agreement within the Godhead in which the Father appointed the Son to become incarnate, suffer, and die as a federal head of mankind to make an atonement for their sin. In return, the Father promised to raise Christ from the dead, glorify him, and give him a people.

    Notes on Joshua 202 1 Edition Dr

    Notes on Joshua 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The name of this book in Hebrew, Greek, and English comes from the principal character in it—Joshua—rather than from the writer. Joshua may or may not have been the writer of this book. The title is appropriate because "Joshua" means: "Yahweh saves." "Joshua" is the Hebrew name that translates into Aramaic as "Jesus." What Jesus is to God's people in a larger sense, Joshua was to the Israelites in a smaller sense. Joshua brought God's people into the realization of many of God's plans and purposes for them. This book is a record of God's deliverance of the Israelites into what He had promised them. In the English Bible, Joshua is one of the historical books (Genesis through Esther). In the Hebrew Bible, however, it is in the second of the three main divisions of the Old Testament, namely, the Prophets. (The Law and the Writings are the first and third divisions of the Hebrew Bible.) Joshua is the first book in the first half of the Prophets, called the "Former Prophets." The Former Prophets section contains four books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings), as does the second division, the "Latter Prophets" (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve [minor prophets]). The fact that the Hebrews included mainly historical books, such as Joshua, in the Prophets section, reveals a basic attitude of God's people. They viewed what God revealed here not primarily as a historical record, as much as an authoritative record of selected historical events designed to teach important spiritual lessons.1 We should therefore recognize Joshua, not 1See Eugene H.
  • OTL601-603 Hebrew Exegesis

    OTL601-603 Hebrew Exegesis

    1 Front Range Bible Institute OTL 601-603 Hebrew Exegesis Syllabus Professor Tim Dane Fall 2018 I. Course Description Hebrew Exegesis is designed to build upon the basic learning that students obtain in first-year Hebrew. In this one-year course, students learn the process of obtaining the interpretation of the biblical text through a study of the original language. This course helps the student build a workable level of Hebrew vocabulary and it also helps the student gain a reasonable mastery of important grammatical features and syntactical structures of the language. This course will also help the student master a highly effective method for doing ground-up studies in the original text. II. Course Objectives A. To gain a level of proficiency in his knowledge of Hebrew grammar and syntax so that he can analyze and interpret the Hebrew text. B. To expand his level of vocabulary to a sufficient level that he can efficiently do exegesis from the Hebrew text as a primary practice on a regular basis. C. To help the student recognize unusual terms and grammatical constructions so that future exegesis will not be hindered by this lack of familiarity. D. To help the student develop and polish a sound exegetical methodology. E. To help the student recognize the crucial need for sound exegesis as a foundation for biblical exposition. F. To help the student become aware of certain false presuppositions and methods that can hinder one from sound exegesis. G. To help the student develop skill in analyzing and solving difficult problem passages in which various exegetes suggest one or more possible interpretations.
  • The Mandate of Biblical Inerrancy: 1 Expository Preaching

    The Mandate of Biblical Inerrancy: 1 Expository Preaching

    THE MANDATE OF BIBLICAL INERRANCY: 1 EXPOSITORY PREACHING John F. MacArthur, Jr. President and Professor of Pastoral Ministries The Master's Seminary The special attention of evangelicalism given to the inerrancy of Scripture in recent years carries with it a mandate to emphasize the expository method of preaching the Scriptures. The existence of God and His nature requires the conclusion that He has communicated accurately and that an adequate exegetical process to determine His meaning is required. The Christian commission to preach God's Word involves the transmitting of that meaning to an audience, a weighty responsibility. A belief in inerrancy thus requires, most important of all, exegetical preaching, and does not have to do primarily with the homiletical form of the message. In this regard it differs from a view of limited inerrancy. * * * * * The theological highlight of recent years has without question been evangelicalism's intense focus on biblical innerrancy.2 Much of what has been written defending inerrancy3 represents the most acute theological reasoning our generation has produced. Yet, it seems our commitment to inerrancy is somewhat lacking in the 1This essay was initially given as a response at the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy, Summit II (Nov 1982). It was subsequently published under the title "Inerrancy and Preaching: Where Exposition and Exegesis Come Together" in Hermeneutics, Inerrancy, and the Bible (ed. by Earl Radmacher and Robert Preus; Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1984) 801-831. It has been updated to serve as the foundational article for this inaugural issue of The Master's Seminary Journal. 2 Over a ten-year period (1977-1987), the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy held three summits for scholars (1978, 1982, 1986) and two congresses for the Christian community-at-large (1982, 1987) whose purposes were to formulate and disseminate the biblical truth about inerrancy.

    Union with Christ and the Old Testament Believer: a Test Case for Theological Systems

    UNION WITH CHRIST AND THE OLD TESTAMENT BELIEVER: A TEST CASE FOR THEOLOGICAL SYSTEMS by Kevin Hobi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Seminary and Graduate School of Religion Bob Jones University February 2007 To those local church families in Christ, who have faithfully cared for the spiritual needs of my own family; Bible Community Church of Mentor, OH with their pastor emeritus, John Ashbrook, diligent expositor and obedient separatist; The Baptist Church of Danbury, CT with their pastor, Dr. Dave Reinhardt, longsuffering example and caring mentor; Regency Baptist Church of Arlington, TX with their pastor, Bob Wallace, soul-winning preacher and sacrificing servant; and Colonial Hills Baptist Church of Taylors, SC with their pastor, Mike Gray, fundamentalist torchbearer and humble leader. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank those whom God has used to encourage the completion of this project. My dear wife of 18 wonderful years, Maureen, has worked tirelessly to care for the needs of a home that too often lacked the attention of husband and dad. My three kids, Brandon, Kara, and Kent, have known what it is to sacrifice desired time with their father as he furthered his education. The unwavering support and love of my family in this endeavor has been an indispensable cause of its completion and a constant source of inspiration and encouragement. I would also like to thank the tireless efforts of Dr. Dan Olinger, my committee chairman, and Dr. Robert Bell. Their detailed examination of the draft of this work contributed immeasurably to its final form.
