How 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 Spectrum Multiview volume, 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.
