New Covenant Journal is devoted to proclaiming the excellencies of the Lord Jesus Christ and the New Covenant in His blood. Its ambition is to express how Jesus Christ is the story of sacred Scripture, and how His sovereignty and grace should shape our beliefs and behaviors. Specifically, we desire to persuade Christians that what has come to be called New Covenant Theology (NCT) is the best way to understand the Scriptures (indeed, the way the Bible interprets itself).
As suggested above, New Covenant Journal exists to exalt Jesus Christ. It strives to do so by providing good instruction for the head and the heart. And in the spirit of full disclosure, we want you to know that our teaching flows from a theological perspective which embraces the Doctrines of Grace (aka Calvinism, Reformed Theology, TULIP, Sovereign Grace), the baptism of believers (i.e., not babies), and New Covenant Theology (in opposition to Covenant Theology and Dispensational Theology). If NCT means little or nothing to you, thank the Lord for His gracious providence because this journal is designed to enlighten you.
Our writing will generally divide into two major sections: New Covenant Thinking and New Covenant Living. The former presents lessons from the perspective of New Covenant Theology, exposing the weaknesses and errors of the other theological systems. The latter seeks to bring the Lordship of Christ and the grace of His Gospel to bear upon the diverse facets of life. Topics will include family, work, friendship, book reviews, movie reviews, logical thinking, how to vote, how to pray, how to develop holiday traditions, and lots of other things that we haven't thought about yet.
We want you to know that we consider all who believe the Gospel to be our brothers and sisters, even if we strongly oppose some of their theological views. So while we may try to knock them off of their platforms, we do not consider them out of the party. We like those guys. We desire to display truth and biblical fidelity, not to create strife and division.
