Deep Dive Into Covenant Theology At The Wharfe

In the Coffee House, John-Mark is joined by Brandon Adams and Benedict Allmand-Smith to discuss Covenant Theology, the Sinai/Mosaic covenant, Paul’s argument in Galatians 3, the Abrahamic Covenant and its relationship to the New Covenant, and the different views on Abraham and Moses, particularly expressed in the majority Reformed view and the arguments of Meredith Kline. Brandon begins by defining the historic “subservient covenant” view: Sinai is distinct from the covenant of grace and serves it by functioning as a typological covenant of works tied to temporal life and blessing in Canaan, conditioned on obedience. They contrast this with the majority historic Reformed view that post-fall covenants are one covenant of grace, and explain competing readings of Galatians 3:10–12 and 3:15–18 (including the “ad hominem” reading). Adams relates Kline’s works-principle approach, critiques attempts to separate the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, and argues Paul’s “promise” centers on Christ blessing the nations, distinguishing the historia salutis from the ordo salutis. Dive deep into covenant theology as you join this Coffee House Session at the Wharfe.
