Has there always been only one covenant beginning with God and Abraham and continuing to Moses and Mount Sinai, finally finding its fulfillment in Jesus?
Or were there a number of covenants ratified in a certain time and space, each playing different roles in preparation for God's redemptive--and final--work in Christ? T. David Gordon believes it is the latter. First through Paul's Letter to the Galatians and now Paul's Letter to the Romans, Gordon demonstrates how the new covenant in Christ displaced the temporary Christ-anticipating, Israel-threatening, and Gentile-excluding Sinai covenant. In this close examination of the Greek text of Paul's Letter to the Romans, building on his argument in his first book on Galatians, Gordon provides a provocative and fresh interpretation. In this second volume, he suggests that reading Romans as covenant-historical solves many otherwise-insoluble problems in Paul's letter and aids us in understanding Paul's reasoning. Through this paradigm-shifting perspective, readers will see how the covenant God made with Abraham and then with Abraham's descendants at Sinai each played different roles in preparation for God's redemptive--and final--work in Christ.
