How New is the New Covenant?: Jesus is Lord

By Stephen R Crosby

Book Overview

The New Covenant is radically different than what preceded it, and those differences are often not well understood. Some would have us believe that Jesus came just to make some minor adjustments in understanding of the Old Covenant, and that the New Covenant is just a renewal of the OldCovenant with Israel. Others think that the ethics Jesus taught prior to Pentecost do not apply to believers today. This books examines the implications of "Jesus is Lord" on the foundation of the New Covenant. The implications of "Jesus is Lord" upon the Church, Second Temple Judaism, Rome/Caesar, the Scriptures, Paul andTorah, and so-called Jewish Roots or Jewish Restorationism Movement are discussed. The declaration--Jesus isLord-- had profound and radical implications on the culture, society, theology, and politics of the day in which Christ and the apostles lived.If we do not understand how radical it was in their day, it is unlikelywe will understand its radical implications on us today.
