Fred Zaspel reviews “Progressive Covenantalism: Charting a Course between Dispensational and Covenantal Theologies,” an “impressive work” seeking to offer a “third way” in theological debates. The book’s “central premise” is that “the historical covenants form the backbone of and carry the Bible’s storyline,” providing “Scripture’s own stated framework for understanding the Bible as a whole.” It “challenges the handling of these themes on the part of both dispensational and covenant theologies.” Zaspel praises its “careful exegetical grounding” and notes that “the contributors are well-informed and articulate, and their arguments pack a powerful exegetical punch.” He concludes that “Progressive Covenantalism works out this thesis more carefully than any that I am aware of” and “will prove to be a focal point in that continuing discussion.”
