Covenant and eschatology
Book Description
Michael Scott Horton presents a thoughtful exploration of how theological understanding can be transformed through a covenant-centered approach to faith and eschatology. Rather than treating theology as an abstract academic exercise, Horton argues that the substance of religious belief should actively shape the methods we use to explore and understand it.
This scholarly work introduces readers to a redemptive-historical framework that connects biblical narratives with systematic theological thinking. Horton employs the compelling metaphor of performance to bridge the often-separated worlds of theological theory and practical spiritual application. His approach invites readers to see faith not as static doctrine, but as a dynamic, unfolding drama in which believers participate.
The author engages thoughtfully with diverse intellectual traditions, drawing insights from Protestant scholastic thought while also incorporating contemporary perspectives on language, interpretation, and postmodern philosophy. This multifaceted dialogue creates a rich foundation for understanding how covenant relationships between the divine and humanity shape both present spiritual experience and future hope.
Designed for both scholars and students seeking deeper theological understanding, this work offers a significant contribution to integrating biblical study with systematic theology. Horton's proposal provides a framework for those interested in exploring how ancient covenant concepts can inform contemporary spiritual reflection and practice, making complex theological ideas accessible to serious seekers of spiritual wisdom.
