Covenant Theology vs. New Covenant Theology

Uncategorized on August 22nd, 2012 2 Comments

Monergism decides not to sell the Baptist version of Covenant Theology on its website. Here’s why:

We believe that Kingdom through Covenant both misrepresents Covenant Theology and promotes an unbiblical alternative. Of course we are not trying to decide for you what to buy, but rather, encourage you in the right direction when you have a choice in the books you read. Some might be under the false impression that we oppose the theology in this book because it is Reformed Baptist. But this is not the case. Kingdom through Covenant is not a Reformed Baptist work or Reformed at all. Historically Reformed Theology has been synonymous with Covenant Theology. So-called New Covenant Theology is actually a reaction against confessional Reformed Baptists, Presbyterians and Covenant Theologians in general. We are not against it because it is Baptist. by no means.  In fact, We carry and encourage you to purchase Baptist Greg Nichols excellent work of covenant theology because we think that it accurately represents classic Covenant Theology from Baptist perspective. Just to clarify, we will not be selling Kingdom through Covenant or making it avaialble.  We regard “New Covenant Theology” as a significant theological error … but of course you are free to purchase it elsewhere.  We appreciate your understanding that we are taking a stand on this issue and we do appreciate your business … even though it may not be for this particular book. :)

So we recommend Sacred Bond and Nichols book over Kingdom through Covenant

This will likely be one of those times where the Presbyterians might draw a line with the Baptists.

  1. It’s interesting that they recommend Greg Nichols though.

  2. Nicholas says:

    They recommend Nichols because they are not anti-Baptist. They are against the heresies of dispensationalism and “new covenant theology.”
