While most Protestants are unified on the foundations, there are major disagreements on particular issues. Who should be baptized? Is the Christian obligated to obey the Law of Moses? Does the church supplant Israel? Who are the proper recipients of God's promises to Israel?In Discontinuity to Continuity, Benjamin Merkle sheds light on the debates between dispensational and covenantal theological systems. Merkle identifies how Christians have attempted to relate the Testaments, placing viewpoints along a spectrum of discontinuity to continuity. Each system's concerns are sympathetically summarized and critically evaluated.   Through his careful exposition of these frameworks, Merkle helps the reader understand the key issues in the debate. Providing more light than heat, Merkle's book will help all its readers better appreciate other perspectives and articulate their own.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303573336437,"sku":"9781683593874","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781683593874_043a09fd-b9b4-440c-99f4-ac000221bbe0.jpg?v=1786034125"},{"product_id":"9781540965103","title":"Exegetical Journeys in Biblical Greek","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSouthwestern Journal of Theology \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e2023 Book Award (Honorable Mention, Biblical Reference\/Biblical Backgrounds)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOften students want to maintain their Biblical Greek when they're between courses, but they don't know where to start.
