Continuity and Discontinuity: Perspectives on the Relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Essays in Honor of S. Lewis Johnson, Jr.

Written by John S. Feinberg (ed.) Reviewed By Craig L. Blomberg

To what extent can the major themes of the OT be compared with those of the NT and to what extent do they contrast? Major theological systems have been built at opposite ends of the spectrum of answers to this question, most notably covenant theology (continuity) and dispensationalism (discontinuity). This collection of essays pairs contributors from these contrasting perspectives on such issues as salvation, the law, the people of God and the kingdom. Strikingly, those who have traditionally emphasized discontinuity move more closely toward a centrist position than those who have emphasized continuity and, in this volume at least, produce the freshest and most persuasive syntheses.
