‘Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his covenant
faithfulness endures for ever’ (Ps. 136:1; a.t.) There are now
numerous models that seek to explain how the biblical covenants
relate to one another. In an attempt to evaluate these models,
James Hely Hutchinson mines the rich seams of the book of Psalms.
After covering the key data on covenant relationships in Books
1–3 of the psalter, Hutchinson considers the perplexity expressed
in the pivotal Psalm 89: in the face of the exile, the promises to
David appear to be null and void. The building blocks of the
response lie with the first five books of the Bible, and chiefly
with the inviolable character of the promises to Abraham (Book 4 of
the psalter). However, if the Abrahamic covenant is to reach
fulfilment, the problem of sin must be dealt with once and for all,
and a glorious new-covenant regime must be established in which a
host of covenants converge in their fulfilment. Central to this
regime, which lies beyond the exile, is the eternal rule of
David’s superior, righteous seed and son who is also a perpetual
priest and a suffering servant (Book 5). Identifying new-covenant
newness as ‘eschatological satisfaction (fulfilment)’ and
‘transcendent inauguration’, Hutchinson tackles a range of
matters that contribute to our understanding of the contours of
redemptive history. The overall aim is to enhance readers’ grasp
of God’s breath-taking salvation plan, ability to handle
Scripture aright and worship of the Master.
