I’m currently reading “The Shadow of Christ in the Law of Moses” by Vern Poythress. Poythress is fine scholar and writer. His “Understanding Dispensationalists” is a must read, and has helped me considerably.
The thing I find attractive about CT vs NCT is CT seems to acknowledge the continuity between the OT and NT; the plan of redemption is continuous. I know I’m overstating this, but NCT seems to want to slice and dice the plan of redemption.
I think some NCT brethren are a bit concerned that reformed baptists are going to fall into the clutches of the presbyterians. It’s not going to happen. There is a fundamental difference between RBs and presbyterians, and it’s enormous. Who is included as a member of the New Covenant? RBs are steadfast – only believers are in the New Covenant, which is why we’re credobaptists. That is a chasm that cannot be bridged.
I’m also reading the latest installment in the NAC Studies in Bible and Theology Series - “That You May Know.” I’ve read all the books in this series so far, and all have been very good, some superb. I’ll keep buying them.
The IPOD is a great invention. I subscribe to their podcast and automatically download MacArthur and Piper’s sermons, and Sproul’s “Renewing Your Mind”, and listen to them at the gym while working out. I just subscribed to Horton’s “White Horse Inn” today also. Also, just finished listening to a 12 part series by Lee Irons the theology of Meredith Kline. I burned ‘em to a CD and listened to it in the car while I was road tripping. Great stuff…..
