What Is New Covenant Theology (And Is It Accurate)? with A. Blake White
Listen here.
What is the Bible about? God's covenantal relationships with his creation? Israel? Jesus? All of the above? Something else? How you answer this question will affect your thinking about God's word, God's world, God's people, and God Himself.
On the ThinkPod we talk a lot about the importance of looking at the world through a biblical worldview, a biblical "lens." In the same way, we need to look at the Bible itself through a biblical lens and let Scripture define what Scripture is and what it's about.
So today we're discussing the "lens" of New Covenant Theology, or NCT. We'll also talk about how NCT differs from its biggest competitors, Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism, and what the difference is between NCT and its sibling, "Progressive Covenantalism" (and which one is better).
My guest today is A. Blake White. Blake is the Lead Pastor of South Side Baptist Church in Abilene, Texas. He is the author of a dozen books, including What is New Covenant Theology, God’s Chosen People, and The Law of Christ.
He has a Masters of Divinity from SouthernSeminary and a Masters of Theology from Southwestern Seminary. Blake is married to Alicia and they have five children. And he joins us today on the Think Podcast Tuesday Twofer.
