this book felt awfully redundant. it had some nice points, but overall, not worth the time.

I think the material would be good but with the way it's written I found it really difficult to follow for some reason. Kinda felt like a jumbledess, to be honest.

Shows how the 66 books of the Bible fit together. Read it for a bible study class I was taking at my church. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookreview #2019

Definitely not casual reading by 2 Hebrew experts who teach for Southern Baptist Seminary. They are charting a path between dispensational teaching and Reformed Covenantal teaching using their knowledge of Hebrew to show the way. I think they do a great job. However you end up, if you want to know about biblical Covenants, this book will contribute to your knowledge about the Bible in a deeper meaningful way!

If you have wondered or thought deeply about the purpose of the church then this book is for you. Along with his other book “The Problem of Wineskins” you will get a first class education.

kgunnIT I haven't done any research on this yet, but it would be an interesting topic. Alli know about this subject is what has been taught by Evangelical Christians, something to investigate further for sure. And, in all honesty, it may make sense that they were more deistic rather than Christian specifically (or at least seeking to found a country as such). I mean, they sailed to The New Land for religious freedom after all. 8y

Among other things, when we associate Jesus with America, even in the most remote ways, we legitimize the widespread global perception that the Christian faith can be judged on the basis of what America has done in the past or continues to do in the present.

Instead of living out the radically countercultural mandate of the kingdom of God, this myth has inclined us to Christianize many pagan aspects of our culture. Instead of providing the culture with a radically alternative way of life, we largely present it with a religious version of what it already is. The myth clouds our vision of God‘s distinctly beautiful kingdom and thereby undermines our motivation to live as set-apart (holy)....
