What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt.2)

This entry is part 2 of 6 in the series Progressive Revelation

A true progression must be tracked as such.  This means the earlier revelation must in some way determine the boundaries of the later revelation.  It cannot be that a set of disclosures, vitally linked together to reveal a certain subject (say, Messiah, or the land grant to Israel), may admit to wholesale ambiguities further along the line.  Revelation is not a brainteaser written in code.  Such would be a contradiction in terms.”

What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt.1)

This entry is part 1 of 6 in the series Progressive Revelation

Audio Lectures on Matthew: Chapter One

This entry is part 4 of 31 in the series Book of Matthew

Biblical Covenants and Normative Hermeneutics

My concern in this article is to address this phenomenon of prophetic makeover. How can God express Himself in the most forceful language of commitment to Israel and not mean what He is saying (Jer. 31-33)? How can God make a solemn oath to accomplish stipulations which He and no one else has placed upon Himself and proceed to “expand” these stipulations beyond all recognition (Gen. 15)?
