Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johannes Cocceius (1603 1669) was prominent Bible scholar who taught at the universities of Bremen, Franeker, and Leiden. As a gifted linguist, he produced a Hebrew lexicon, commentary related to every book of the Bible, and several theological treatises. Cocceius's contributions to covenant theology simultaneously sparked theological controversies and further fruitful dialogue for understanding the progressive nature of salvation history. The Doctrine of the Covenantand Testament of God describes the entire biblical history as a series of events by which an original covenant of works is gradually annulled, bringing new phases in the history of the covenant of grace. He shows that God's standard way of relating to mankind is through covenant, which, at its heart, is friendship with God. Casey Carmichael's translation of Cocceius's book is monumental, providing the first English edition of a work that helped shape Reformed theology for centuries. Historical theologians have long noted Cocceius's work as a crucial text in the development of federal theology, and now this translation will open access to a wider range of readers and is sure to spur further interest and research in Reformed expositions of covenantal thought. The introduction by Willem J. van Asselt, the world's leading scholar on Coccieus's life and theology, provides the historical context for understanding the importance of the book and a summary of the significant contributions it made to Reformed theology. Series Description Cocceius' The Doctrine of the Covenant and Testament of God is the third volume of the Classic Reformed Theology series, edited by Dr. R. Scott Clark. This series seeks to produce and provide critical English translations of some of the more important but generally neglected texts of the orthodox period. It is the sincere hope of the editor and the board that at least one volume shall appear annually.

Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Book excerpt: A Comprehensive Exploration of the Biblical Covenants This book forms an overview of the biblical teaching on covenant as well as the practical significance of covenant for the Christian life. A host of 26 scholars shows how covenant is not only clearly taught from Scripture, but also that it lays the foundation for other key doctrines of salvation. The contributors, who engage variously in biblical, systematic, and historical theology, present covenant theology not as a theological abstract imposed on the Bible but as a doctrine that is organically presented throughout the biblical narrative. As students, pastors, and church leaders come to see the centrality of covenant to the Christian faith, the more the church will be strengthened with faith in the covenant-keeping God and encouraged in their understanding of the joy of covenant life.

Book excerpt: Many Christians will be familiar with the idea that Christ fulfills the Old Testament prophecies and promises concerning God's people in the Old Testament. But when we begin to see this, too, in terms of covenant, then we begin to more fully understand precisely what it was that Christ fulfilled and what the implications of this are for those of us who are what the Bible calls "in Christ." Not only did Jesus meet all the requirements of the overarching theme of the Old Testament in general terms, but he filled out to their fullest potential all the intricacies of detail of each of the separate divine covenants that we find there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘All Scripture is breathed out by God …’ (2 Timothy 3:16). From Paul’s epistles the divine inspiration of Scripture may be confidently affirmed, as well as its corollary attributes. However, on turning to Jesus and the Gospels, it is hard to find an explicit approach like Paul’s. Matthew Barrett argues that Jesus and the apostles have just as convictional a doctrine of Scripture as Paul or Peter, but it will only be discovered if the Gospels are read within their own canonical horizon and covenantal context. The nature of Scripture presupposed by Jesus and the Gospel writers may not be addressed directly, but it manifests itself powerfully when their words are read within the Old Testament’s promise–fulfilment pattern. Nothing demonstrates Scripture’s divine origin, divine authorial intent and trustworthiness more than the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the advent of the Son of God, the Word has become flesh, announcing to Jew and Gentile alike that the covenant promises Yahweh made through the Law and the Prophets have been fulfilled in the person and work of Christ.

Book excerpt: For many years, I have had a prevailing desire to write a book on a complete study of the doctrine of Jesus Christ and state our Lord's doctrine in the most chronological, most practical, and simplest terms. On numerous occasions, I have endeavored to pencil such a manuscript from the New Testament record but have never been able to complete the work in a reasonably acceptable manner. I had come to believe that such a work is impractical, if not impossible, in light of the conclusion of the great Apostle John's gospel. Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples which are not written in the New Testament record, but those that are written are so that we may believe that he is the Christ and his testimony is true. Also, there are so many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose even the world could not contain the books that would be written (Paraphrased, John 20:30 and 21:24-25, NKJV). We can never know all that Jesus came to teach and to do, but we can know what he has left us of his Doctrine in the New Testament record. And this is what we wish to express in a complete study of his teachings. For six years--through an educational endeavor with Liberty University and Dr. Harold Wilmington's Distant Learning Program on Bible, Dr. George Fall's master's program at Summit Theological Seminary on theology, and finally Master's International School of Divinity's doctoral program of practical theology--I have decided it is time to write my own documentation, profile, and dissertation on the doctrine of Jesus Christ. The approach that I have chosen to accomplish such an endeavor is to document and profile every verse of the Scripture in the New Testament record and commensurate Jesus's personal teachings with those of the apostles and other New Testament writers. According to Jesus's commandment to the apostles and other New Testament writers, they were to teach what he commanded or gave instruction to teach through the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28:20 and John16:12-15). With regard to Christ's commandments and instructions, a teaching of an apostle or another New Testament writer is a teaching of Jesus Christ. It is now my firm convictions that if I follow a profile of every verse of the Scripture in the New Testament record with this conviction, I will be able to write a complete dissertation on the doctrine of Jesus Christ. I will present the dissertation in two parts of which part one will be the printed profile of the New Testament record and part two will be a summation of Christ's doctrine gleaned from a commensuration of Christ's teachings with those of the apostles and other New Testament writers.
