Abstract:

Abstract Whatever opinion we might have on the covenants of God with man, we cannot escape the fundamental truth that covenant theology is the best way of presenting the Biblical development of God’s revelation in the history of mankind. Therefore, our duty is to learn to think in covenantal terms, because thinking in covenantal terms means to think biblically. When God, in His sovereignty, has chosen to deal with man, He has chosen to do so through two covenants: the covenant of works, made between God and Adam as the representative head of all mankind, and through the covenant of grace, made between God and Christ on behalf of those who were predestined and elected in Christ.

Abstract:

Nostra Aetate initiated a revolutionary shift in Catholic theology, opposing supersessionism and affirming that Jews remain in a salvific covenantal relationship with God. However, this shift raises for Catholics a deep tension regarding the value of this “Old Covenant” vis-à-vis the “New Covenant,” as this article illustrates using the statements of Walter Kasper and The Gifts and the Calling of God Are Irrevocable. While speaking positively about the Old Covenant, both deem it essential to maintain the superiority of the New Covenant as universalistic, fulfilling the promises in the Old Covenant and transcending its limitations. The author demonstrates how they seek to reduce this tension by characterizing the two covenants as good and better covenants, rather than as bad and good covenants, thereby avoiding a lapse into supersessionism.

Abstract: The present article explores Paul’s use and meaning of the διαθήκη (diathēkē, “covenant” or “testament”) in Galatians 3–4, as well as the relation between the covenants mentioned or presupposed in these chapters: the Abrahamic promise covenant, the Mosaic law covenant, and the Davidic and eschatological (“new”) covenants. The article ﬁrst highlights elements that suggest that “covenant” is an important aspect of Paul’s biblical-theological argument in Galatians. Two sections develop the content of these covenants. In the ﬁnal section, the relation between the covenants is brought to bear upon the covenant and Mosaic law in Reformed theology. A historical-redemptive approach is considered necessary for understanding Paul’s statements on the Mosaic Torah and covenant in Galatians 3–4, as well as in Reformed theology generally.

Abstract:

In his covenant or federal theology Johannes Cocceius (1603-1669) sought to formulate a theology which described all of human history by introducing the structure of consecutive covenants or foedera. In this essay I explore the various ways in which he described the covenantal relationship between God and humankind in terms of ‘friendship with God’ (amicitia cum Deo). It enabled him to shed new light on many of the traditional topics of Protestant theology: (1) salvation history; (2) ecclesiology (church and sacraments) and (3) the Christian life (ethics). The main thesis defended is that the type of covenant theology presented by Cocceius can be best described as an interesting form of what today might be called a ‘relational theology’ with some significant hermeneutical perspectives and theological possibilities for today.

Abstract:

This article responds to Adam Gregerman’s article on covenant theology in recent Jewish–Catholic dialogue by arguing three points: (1) Scripture presents a multiplicity of covenants (rather than a singular “Old Covenant”), which coexist together in complementary ways. (2) This multiplicity produces dynamic tension among the covenants. (3) The tendency in recent theological discussion to describe the New Covenant as a fulfillment of its predecessors lacks a biblical basis.

Abstract:

Despite formulating an alternative reading of redemptive history, the Scofield Reference Bible was unable to finally repudiate the theology of biblical covenants which had previously dominated Reformed thought. Scofield’s manipulation of the covenants stood in tension with his theology of dispensations, and accounts for many of the most important innovations in the system of his thought. This article seeks to balance the neglect of Scofield’s covenant theology.

Abstract:

What is the Federal Theology, born in the 17th century in New England? The authoress presents the characteristics of the Puritan Federal Theology, emphasising the significance of the concept of Covenant, which binds a man to God and God to man, in the constituting of a community. The covenants entered into by people are acts of mutual debt raising and of undertaking a mutual obligation to discharge it. It is because a covenant ob-liga-tes that it brings forth a league.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe paper shows how the important theological and Anglo-biblical term ‘Covenant’ was formulated in the course of successive biblical translations, from the original Hebrew and Greek to the King Kames Bible. It suggests that the use of the term in English biblical versions reflected – and in turn propelled – the increasingly prominent Covenant theology. Once coined in the vernacular Scriptures, moreover, the term was applied to religious political alliances: from the Scottish Covenants of the 1590s to the English Solemn League and Covenant, 1644, studied in the paper.

Abstract:

The God of the Israelites is a God of covenants that bind covenants with humanity. Agreement between them has a binding nature to one another. Throughout the history of the Israelites recorded in the Old Testament, God often spoke through His prophets. God delivered a special message about the lives of the Israelites and also what He promised them through these prophets. All messages in the Old Testament and the prophetic books refer to a conditional Covenant. On the one hand, God pursues and punishes, but on the other hand, He restores. The Covenant theology reveals God's intention to punish and repair that is manifested in Christ's mission. This paper analyzes the implementation of the covenant theology in the ministry of the Prophet Zephaniah through the study of literature and sees its implementation for the presence of Christ in the world.Abstrak: Allah adalah Allah perjanjian yang mengikat perjanjian kepada umat manusia. Perjanjian yang terjalin antara Allah dengan manusia memiliki sifat yang sangat mengikat. Di dalam kehidupan bangsa Israel yang terekam sepanjang kitab Perjanjian Lama, Allah bersabda melalui nabi nabiNya. Allah memberikan pesan secara spesifik perihal kehidupan bangsa Israel dan juga apa yang menjadi janjiNya kepada mereka. Seluruh pesan Perjanjian Lama dan khususnya kitab Nabi-nabi mengarah pada satu perjanjian atau kovenan bersyarat. Pada satu sisi, Allah menuntut dan menghukum tetapi pada sisi lain, Allah memulihkan. Teologi kovenan menampilkan maksud Allah untuk menghukum dan memulihkan yang tergambar di dalam misi Kristus. Tulisan ini menganalisis implementasi Teologi kovenan di dalam pelayanan Nabi Zefanya melalui studi literatur dan melihat implementaisnya bagi kehadiran Kristus di dunia.

Abstract:

AbstractThe place of the nonhuman animal within Christian doctrine is a topic of increasing interest, as more theologians seek to describe where nonhuman animals fit on the theological stage. One area where there seems great potential, yet which has been relatively untouched, is God's covenantal relationship with nonhuman animals as described within the Bible. This article is an attempt to use the idea of God's covenantal relationship with nonhuman creatures to build a case for understanding them as creatures of value, with a corresponding human calling to treat them in ways suitable to their value. This case is made in two sections. In the first, the fact that God covenants with nonhuman animals, and calls humans into covenant with them, will be shown through examining Genesis 9 and Hosea 2. Given such a reality, what it means to be involved in a covenant will be examined, and ultimately two main implications will be put forward. First, that nonhuman animals are worthy of covenantal care and protection, and second that humans have a calling to exist in a covenantal relationship with them. Following this, this article then turns to its second section, where it examines the ways in which the Christian tradition has (or has not) intentionally chosen to live out such a covenantal theology with nonhuman animals. The doctrines of two contemporary Christian denominations (Anglican and Roman Catholic) as described in significant denominational documents are examined, as are two groups from these respective traditions which choose to pay close attention to the welfare of nonhuman animals to address the manner in which the covenantal relationship shared between human and nonhuman animals is recognised and understood in the church today. While the groups focused on nonhuman animal welfare continually call for the church to recognise the value of all creatures as described in the covenantal relationship all animals are involved in, their respective denominations often fail to live out such ethical implications. In light of the significance of the covenantal relationship, it is suggested that the church is called to engage in deeper acts of moral discernment on matters of animal ethics.

Abstract:

This thesis provides an analysis of the covenant thought of Zacharias Ursinus (1534- 1583) who further advanced the idea of a bi-covenantal scheme in the development of covenant theology in the sixteenth century and seeks to demonstrate how such advancement did not diminish the gratuitous nature of the gospel. Understood within the larger framework of his theological system it becomes evident that his original foedus naturale did not arise out of an overly speculative scholastic methodology. Instead, it served as the corollary of the foedus gratiae he inherited from his Reformed predecessors. An analysis of his teaching on the natural law, the law-gospel dichotomy, the federal headship of Adam and Christ and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness for Adam’s disobedience reveals how the foedus naturale emerged organically from his convictions on these heads of doctrine. The methodology is both systematic and historical. It begins with a study of his theological development as examined in the context of his life and written works followed by a review of the contributions of previous secondary literature that exists on this subject. Both the doctrine of God and the doctrine of the knowledge of God are analyzed as they provide insight into his theological methodology showing it to be biblical rather than philosophically speculative. The heart of the thesis is a close examination of the foedus gratiae and the foedus naturale which demonstrates how the two complement each other and how they relate to other theological distinctives within his thought. The study concludes by showing how his doctrine of justification, namely double imputation, lays the basis for the formulation of his pioneering idea of a foedus naturale.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to examine the lives and works of David Dickson and James Durham in order to obtain an accurate picture of their particular sort of federal theology. It also aims to investigate their role in the establishment of Scottish federal Presbyterianism. The conclusion is that Dickson and Durham, by means of their influential position and work at a critical time in the Scottish church's history, played significant roles in the shaping of Scottish federalism in its presbyterian form. Further, those roles are best defined by their participation in the popularisation of federal theology through the use of the doctrine of conscience. The thesis begins by considering the origins of federal theology, as well as the development of that theology in the Scottish context. The Scottish socio-political context is also reviewed. These pursuits provide an understanding of the theological tradition to which Dickson and Durham belonged, and also establish a framework against which their theology can be judged. The thesis then turns to a consideration of the life and work of David Dickson. Biographical information is presented in order to attain greater understanding of his works, and a brief description of all of Dickson's published works establishes familiarity with important themes in Dickson's thought. Dickson's theology is then carefully reconstructed from the original sources. The centrality of the federal schema is highlighted, and his federalism is followed throughout his soteriology. Points of tension between Dickson's theological heritage and the emphases found in his three-fold convenant system are delineated and explained. Finally, Dickson's doctrine of conscience is examined, and its place in his promulgation of federal theology is described.

Abstract:

This chapter situates John Davenant’s covenant theology into his broader Reformed context. Against certain misinterpretations of Reformed covenant theology, and of Davenant in particular, this chapter shows that Davenant’s covenant theology—even as it was used to defend his hypothetical universalism—was not especially noteworthy relative to other Elizabethan Reformed theologians, nor to the broader European Reformed community. To that end, the chapter details how Davenant understood both the so-called covenant of works and the covenant of grace. Special focus is given to Davenant’s insistence on the universality of the covenant of grace and the role played by his doctrine of an absolute covenant, corresponding to predestination.
