I am a believer in and follower of Christ. I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

I grew up in a belief system known as Dispensationalism. Even though we didn't know it had a name. Over the years, I had developed issues with this system of biblical interpretation. Certain patterns of behavior that I saw (and still see) in my community troubled me.

So I have been reevaluating my methodology.

After many, many hours of biblical study and prayer, I now realize this system of hermeneutic practice is incorrect and, in many ways, a distorted view of God's holy word.

I am now convinced that Covenant Theology is the most aligned with the biblical intent of scripture.

I pray I can be a light to enable those around me to see God's word more clearly.

What is covenant theology?

Why not just go orthodox?

Eastern Orthodox don't teach Covenant Theology exactly, but it is much more closely related than Evangelical Dispensationalism.

Covenant Theology reads the whole Bible as one unfolding plan of grace in which God’s covenants culminate in Christ and form one people of God across all ages.

What is the distinction between dispensationalism and covenant theology?

Does this have any impact on how we interpret the gospels and books of the Bible?

No, the gospels are the main books used to interpret the old testament. It increases the importance of Christ and a unified Church. The Church is Israel. Not some country with that name in the middle east. I recommend looking into the method of interpretation more deeply.
