AP121 Introducing Covenantal Apologetics II: Applications is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this follow-up to AP120, Dr. Oliphint turns to the applications of covenantal apologetics for today’s world. He begins with the elements of common grace and God’s mercy, describes the covenantal view of sin and human nature, and offers responses to the most common apologetics issue—the problem of evil. Dr. Oliphint provides ample biblical and theological support throughout.

As made in God’s image, though, all people are now either covenant keepers in Jesus Christ and because of what Christ has done, or covenant breakers in Adam. So when we speak of an absolute antithesis, we’re speaking covenantally and not metaphysically. An absolute antithesis is an absolute covenantal antithesis, in which there are sheep and there are goats, in the way Scripture thinks about it, and that has to do with our covenant head—either Adam or Christ.
