Unfolding Covenant History: Volumes 1-6 (set)

Guaranteed safe checkout

Unfolding Covenant History is an ongoing series of books that plans to cover the history of God’s covenant in the Old Testament. Therefore, it is not a verse-by verse or even chapter-by-chapter study of the Old Testament Scriptures. 

History. While the books do interact with the non-historical parts of the Old Testament, the poetical books and the prophets, for example, the main focus is on the historical narrative of the Old Testament. As a case in point, this sixth volume focuses on First and Second Samuel and part of First Kings (through chapter eleven, the death of Solomon). The previous volumes, the first four by the late Homer C. Hoeksema, and the fifth by Prof. David Engelsma, covered Genesis through Ruth, dealing almost exclusively with the historical narratives.

Covenant. The approach to the narrative is thematic, with the overarching theme the covenant of God. Engelsma is concerned to show how the covenant is manifested in God’s dealings with Israel, and especially in His dealings with Israel’s first three kings, Saul, David, and Solomon.

Unfolding. Engelsma is concerned to demonstrate how the covenant of God develops in this history. There is one everlasting covenant of grace, not a separate covenant with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and David, for example. Nevertheless, that one everlasting covenant of grace, like a delightful rose, unfolds to reveal the beauty within. There is development, therefore, in every new historical manifestation of the covenant.
