In Covenant Theology, author Jeong Koo Jeon makes a much-needed
contribution to 21st century biblical and systematic theology. He
explores the debate between John Murray and Meredith G. Kline,
placing their ideas in the larger context of Biblical studies that
have had a direct influence on Reformed theology and
evangelicalism. Although the theologies of Murray and Kline contain
significant differences, they both maintain a distinction between a
covenant of creation and a covenant of grace. In addition, they
both advocate a fundamental antithesis between law and gospel,
giving a priority to law over gospel in the temporal and logical
order of divine works. Jeon sees these distinctions as hermeneutic
tools that are essential for better understanding of biblical
revelation as well as faith, grace, and atonement.
Karl Barth and John Calvin belong to the first rank of great
theologians of the church. Both, of course, were also reformed
theologians. Historically, Calvins influence on reformed doctrine
has been much greater than that of Barths and continues to be so in
the present day. In contrast, Barths reformed credentials have been
questionednot least in his understanding of election and atonement.
The question is who should be of greater importance for the
reformed church in the twentyfirst century? Who has the better
arguments on the Bible? Barth or Calvin? Doctrinal areas of focus
are the nature of the atonement, Scripture and the sacraments.
