What is the best framework for reading the Bible? The question of
how to relate the Old and New Testaments is as old as the Bible
itself. While most Protestants are unified on the foundations,
there are major disagreements on particular issues. Who should be
baptized? Is the Christian obligated to obey the Law of Moses? Does
the church supplant Israel? Who are the proper recipients of God's
promises to Israel? In Discontinuity to Continuity, Benjamin Merkle
brings light to the debates between dispensational and covenantal
theological systems. Merkle identifies how Christians have
attempted to relate the Testaments, placing viewpoints along a
spectrum of discontinuity to continuity. Each system's concerns are
sympathetically summarized and critically evaluated. Through his
careful exposition of these frameworks, Merkle helps the reader
understand the key issues in the debate. Providing more light than
heat, Merkle's book will help all readers better appreciate other
perspectives and articulate their own.
