The Words of the Covenant Vol 2: A Book Review

Building on the foundation established in Volume 1, this second volume represents the culmination of 15 years of dedicated study into the biblical covenants. In The Words of the Covenant: A Biblical Theology, Volume 2: New Testament Continuation, Paul Henebury delves into the New Testament, demonstrating how the covenantal promises made in the Hebrew Scriptures continue to resonate and shape the apostolic writings.

With precision and clarity, Henebury uncovers the covenantal continuity that runs through the pages of the New Testament, challenging theological assumptions and inviting readers to re-examine long-held beliefs. His work leaves no room for ambiguity, maintaining that God's covenants are not mere metaphors, but "gracious amplifications of plain speech about matters of great importance."

As Henebury masterfully avoids the pitfalls of imposing theological systems onto Scripture, he instead allows the biblical text to speak for itself. His approach, relying on directly identified biblical covenants, offers a refreshing and insightful path forward for both theologians and Bible readers alike. Central to this volume is the issue of Israel's promised restoration, a topic that generates significant theological debate, but one which Henebury addresses with unwavering commitment to the plain meaning of God's words.

I am sure you get suggestions all the time, but I would love to see you review "Hexagon of Heresy" by Dr. James Gifford. It discusses the 6 Christological Heresies, the underlying root of those heresies being Divine Simplicity, and how those heresies have not faded into history but are part of the cosmological errors we face today. I highly recommend it for his process of systematic theology and the intersection of philosophy, history, and theology.

at 6:45 you say "Revelation" when you meant to say "Romans"
what did you mean by the monumental error of Darby of the "heavenly" and "earthly" people of God?
