Publisher's Synopsis
The primary focus of this book is to examine at length God's covenants and dispensations. A dispensation is how God manages sinful human beings in agreement with God's progressive revelation of Scripture in human history. Each of the seven dispensations is outlined as to responsibilities, duration, judgment, and content of saving faith. Then a chapter is devoted to each dispensation for an in depth examination, and other relevant discussions.
A covenant between God and humankind is like a contract, with conditions binding on all parties. Each of the seven covenants is outlined as to type, conditions, duration, and judgment. Then a chapter is devoted to each covenant for an in depth examination, and other relevant discussions. Other questions answered in this book are: What are Dispensational and Reformed theology? What is a dispensation? What is a covenant? Why did God make dispensations and covenants? Five appendices explain certain related matters in greater detail. In reading this book, both Reformed and Dispensational will see God's covenants and dispensations work in harmony to accomplish God's purpose, plans, and processes in human history.
