Two Testaments, One Problem: Reclaiming Christianity for the Age of Love
Discover the Freedom of the Fulfilled Covenant
For centuries, many Christians have been told that the Old and New Testaments must be perfectly harmonized - that the laws, purity codes, and ceremonial practices of ancient Israel still carry weight for followers of Christ today. This belief has led to confusion, strained interpretations, and a faith often burdened by obligations never meant for the New Covenant.
In this clear and thought-provoking work, Dominic Knight traces a deeply personal journey:
From a devout Catholic upbringing,
Through disenchantment when key doctrines proved absent from Scripture,
Into years of searching without a church,
Conversion to Lutheranism,
And finally, a rediscovery of the liberating truth - that Jesus fully and finally fulfilled the Old Covenant.
Drawing on careful reading of Scripture, accessible theological insight, and lived experience, this book dismantles the need to "force-fit" Old Testament narratives into the teachings of Christ. Instead, it reveals the Gospel as a complete, sufficient covenant that frees believers from the weight of outdated law.
You'll discover:
Why the Old Covenant cannot be blended with the New without distortion
How the early Church navigated the tension between law and grace
Why Jesus' fulfillment of the law is more than a doctrinal point - it's a life-changing reality
How to approach Scripture without fear of contradiction
Written for Christians of all backgrounds - from lifelong churchgoers to those disillusioned by institutional religion - this book is both a theological exploration and an invitation to renewed spiritual clarity.
If you've ever felt uneasy about strained explanations or wondered why some teachings seem forced, this book offers a path toward peace - and the courage to let the old truly pass away.
For readers of Bart D. Ehrman, N. T. Wright, and Philip Yancey - and for every believer who suspects the Gospel is simpler, and freer, than they've been told.
