My parents who first instilled in me an interest in prophecy,
end times, and the future of Israel while also raising me
to believe and trust in Jesus Christ first and foremost.
To Tina Lucas
Who the Lord has graciously provided as a dedicated
and loving wife and whose companionship I cherish above all others.
May God be pleased to allow our marriage to reflect
the gospel of Jesus Christ for many more years.

About Covenantal and Dispensational Theologies: Four Views on the Continuity of ScriptureHow does the canon of Scripture fit together? For evangelical Christians, there is no question about the authority of Scripture and its testimony to the centrality of Jesus Christ in God’s salvation plan. But several questions remain: How do the Old Testament and New Testament relate to each other? What is the relationship among the biblical covenants? How should Christians read and interpret Scripture in order to do justice to both its individual parts and its whole message? How does Israel relate to the church? In this volume in IVP Academic’s Spectrum series, readers will find four contributors who explore these complex questions. The contributors each make a case for their own view—representing two versions of covenantal theology and two versions of dispensational theology—and then respond to the others’ views to offer an animated yet irenic discussion on the continuity of Scripture. Views and Contributors: • Covenant Theology: Michael S. Horton, Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California. • Progressive Covenantalism: Stephen J. Wellum, professor of Christian theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. • Progressive Dispensationalism: Darrell L. Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary. • Traditional Dispensationalism: Mark A. Snoeberger, professor of systematic theology and apologetics, Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary. |
