Romans: A New Covenant Commentary offers an exposition of Romans in terms of the operation of the New Covenant. Dumbrell argues that the operation of the New Covenant terminates the age of the Mosaic covenant. Mosaic law and its system of atonement thus ceases with the death of Christ. The further important point is that Paul is relating in his exposition to his current ministry and thus to national Israel in a post-cross situation still pursuing a covenant relationship under the defunct Mosaic covenant.
