What is Covenant Theology? Is it a construct that is forced upon the Bible by well-meaning but misled pastors, or does it flow naturally from the scriptures? Today we talk with the President of Mid America Reformed Seminary. He has written a new book, titled "Christ and Covenant Theology: Essays on Election, Republication, and the Covenants." It is available on Amazon here: https://smile.amazon.com/Christ-Covenant-Theology-Republication-Covenants/dp/1629952516/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8=1525110548=8-1=christ+and+covenant+theology+venema
This is an important area of study that we commend. At first you may think that looking at things through the lens of the covenant is forced. But it is simply the natural way to look at the scriptures. Many of us were "converted" to this perspective, later in life, after having been immersed in other approaches that were more man-centered, and just didn't make sense anymore. Covenant has to do with God's loving relationship with His people. It's like God enters the picture in a new way, and places His arms around you and opens your eyes. He graciously bestows upon us His signs and seals as His children. It is a wonderful thing. We heartily recommend Dr. Venema's book. Participants: Dr. Cornelis Venema, Dan Elmendorf
