Biblical Covenantalism


Paul Henebury

Biblical Covenantalism is an approach to the whole Bible which seeks to trace out the Program of God (‘the Creation Project’), through His own commitments in the Covenants of Scripture. This presentation appears courtesy of Telos Ministries. [26 hours 35 minutes]

37 Do We Interpret The Ot By The Nt Do We Interpret the Old Testament by the New Testament?
These lectures address the widespread notion that the Bible intends the OT to be interpreted by the NT. But this raises all sorts of problems, since, e.g., the NT appeals to the OT for its authority. [1 hour 4 minutes]
38 Christ And Israel Christ and Israel
Here are two lessons which relate to Christ’s identification with the nation of Israel: (1) It is a common maneuver for replacement theologians to teach that Jesus IS Israel and that all the covenant promises to the nation were fulfilled in Him; (2) Scriptures are examined which tie the covenant promises made to Israel in both Testaments with the Second Advent.
39 Reign Of Christ The Reign of Christ: Now or Later?
Many Christians believe that Jesus is reigning on the throne of David now. Dr Henebury refutes this claim. He uses Progressive Dispensationalism as a foil. (Please note that the second lecture cuts off suddenly before the summation) [55 minutes]
