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!

A solid scriptural outlay of what the what age to come means. If you are looking for a disembodied souls in Heaven then this is not what God is doing in the world. God‘s salvation extends to the entire creation not just people. 2 Peter 3:13 describes the eschatological hope:
“But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.” Our future is a physical AND REDEEMED one!
