The Message of the New Testament
Description
A Biblical Overview of Each New Testament Book in Light of the Old
The New Testament is the story of how all the promises made by God in the Old Testament were kept-and what that means for us today. The nation of Israel had many hopes: hope for a deliverer, hope for restored fellowship with God, and hope for the world to be put right. The New Testament explains how those promises were kept and how, if we are Christians, they are kept in us as well.
Based on 28 sermons in the early years of Mark Dever's ministry at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, The Message of the New Testament surveys the historical context, organization, and theology of each New Testament book, in light of God's Old Testament promises. Dever's message echoes that of the New Testament-one of fulfilled hope.
