The Various Branches of New Covenant Theology

New Covenant Theology is not monolithic, but has a spectrum of positions when it comes to how the covenants work together.  some of the viewpoints that I have found in the following article include:  Statutes NCT (Greg Gibson) Subset NCT (Steve Lehrer) Classic NCT / New Law Giver NCT (John Reisinger, Jon Zens, Gary Long, Tom Wells, & Fred Zaspel) Picture-Fulfillment New Covenant Theology While this may not be the full spectrum you can read more on this spectrum at Christ, Our Covenant: The Various Branches of New Covenant Theology see also www.disciplemaking.net

What We Believe | New Covenant Theology

2What We Believe | New Covenant Theology Submitted by Randy Seiver on Mon, 09/13/2010 – 00:40 We believe there is only one God, creator of heaven and earth. This God exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory. We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the only rule to teach us what we must believe and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe that all are sinners by nature and by choice. All are guilty before God and deserve

What Is New Covenant Theology? | NCJ

Here is a good overview of What Is New Covenant Theology? | NCJ CT = Covenant TheologyNCT = New Covenant TheologyDT = Dispensational Theology some of the salient points include: New Covenant Theology is not new Covenant Theology. New Covenant Theology is basically a biblical-theological understanding of the purpose of Scripture, an explanation of its primary theme, a way of describing how the Bible itself puts together its various parts. New Covenant Theology does not question the integrity or motives of those who hold to CT and DT. Covenant Theology assumes two covenants between God and man: The Covenant of Works and The Covenant of Grace.  Covenant Theology believes

The Master’s Seminary Journal: New Covenant Theology

The Master’s Seminary Journal discusses New Covenant Theology (CT) Reading opposing viewpoints has helped me in understanding the differences in CT, NCT, and DT.  The Volume 18, Number 2, Fall 2007 of the Master’s Seminary Journal is extremely helpful in defining terms, making proper theological distinctions when it comes to this kid of theological discussion.  While I don’t buy into a particular version of NCT yet, I do lean toward NCT with some exceptions.  Unlike versions of CT and DT, NCT makes Christ the priority of the Scriptures.    Read this critique and disagreement of NCT  in the Master’s seminary Journal – fall, 2007 issue – which is dedicated

Responding to R. Scott Clark’s Theses on Covenant Theology

I appreciate Dr. R.K. MacGregor Write for writing up this response to Dr. R. Scott Clark’s Theses on Covenant Theology. It is God-centered, Bible saturated, Grace-loving,and passion producing Theology. I have generally came to embrace the basic themes associated with what Dr. R.K. MacGregor Wright is teaching here, as I see it as the most biblical way of understanding how the Bible fits together. These responses will help clarify a Biblical framework necessary for interpreting Scripture accurately, a Biblical understanding of and relationship to God’s Covenants and the Law.• R.

The Parable of the Two Trains: Old/New Covenants (Part 3)

Here is part 3 of: The Parable of the Two Trains: Old/New Covenants (3) by Pastor Mark Webb. In the first article I sought to illustrate Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism using the figure of trains, tracks, and engineers.Covenant Theology was depicted as one train (i.e. God’s people) running through history on one track (i.e. one covenant of grace) picking up passengers as it goes. At the appropriate time, Christ replaces Moses as engineer (i.e. a change of covenant administra­tors). Dispensationalism was depicted as two separate trains (i.e. Israel and the Church) running one at a time through history on two

The Parable of the Two Trains: Old/New Covenants (2)

Here is part 2 of The Parable of the Two Trains: Old/New Covenants by Mark Webb: Previously I sought to illustrate the differences between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism by the use of trains and train tracks. Let me quickly review. Covenant Theology was described as one train on one track but with two engineers. Originally, Moses was the engineer as it chugged its way through the Old Testament times. Then, at the juncture of the Old and New ages, Christ replaces Moses as the new engineer. This model seeks to emphasize the continuity of Covenant Theology. There’s only one covenant
