A Disputation on the New Covenant

March 26, 2016

In this class Ross presents a disputation on current views of the New Covenant. Beginning with the view put forth by the gospel writers, Ross shows that the New Covenant is taught to represent a proclamation of death. He goes on to show how Paul and then the writer of Hebrews expands upon various examples meant to contrast the OLD covenant with the NEW and improved covenant. But are these ideas consistent with the view of the New Covenant presented by the prophet Jeremiah. Ross argues that they are not, and seeks to show the original meaning of the phrase.
