An Introduction to the New Covenant
In Jeremiah 31, God declares He will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. How we understand that covenant has tremendous importance for every area of theology. An Introduction to the New Covenant examines the covenant to discover who are the recipients of the promised blessings, and concludes that the New Covenant is intended exclusively for Israel and Judah. While An Introduction to the New Covenant asserts that the church is not related to the New Covenant, God's promises to the nation of Israel have profound implications for every believer, every day.

This is scholarly volume that thoroughly reviews all the Scripture about the New Covenant. Its contributors note how the New Covenant is a contract between God on one hand, and Israel and Judah on the other. It examines the meaning, terms and future complete fulfilment of the covenant for Israel and Judah.
Going through all the Scripture from the Old and New Testaments, the contributing authors examine the consequences for Israel and Judah and the consequences for the non-Jewish world. One has to have the Bible on hand to examine what each chapter of the book is discussing. The in-depth study brings to light God's character and His purposes in directing history through His covenants with Israel. It clears up so much misunderstanding around the New Covenant and how it impacts national Israel. It also demonstrates how the God of the Bible is a promise-making, promise-keeping God whose purposes are always fulfilled.
The authors show that the implementation and fulfilment of a covenant may cause more things to happen than explicitly stated in the text of the contract, but those extras don’t invalidate the literal interpretation of the contract text itself.
