In this enlightening episode of Remnant Radio, Dr. Stephen Wellum from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary joins Josh Lewis and Michael Roundtree to explore the complex relationship between the Old and New Testaments through the lens of Progressive Covenantalism. Dr. Wellum breaks down the differences between traditional Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology, and Progressive Covenantalism, explaining how biblical covenants serve as the backbone for understanding Scripture’s unity. The discussion delves into how each covenant from Adam to Christ progressively reveals God’s redemptive plan, challenging oversimplified interpretations of biblical law and offering a fresh perspective on how Christians should understand their relationship to Old Testament commands. Whether you’re a theology student or simply interested in better understanding how the Bible fits together, this episode provides valuable insights into how all of Scripture points to and finds its fulfillment in Christ.

Key topics include:

The progression of biblical covenants
Differences between Old and New Covenants
How to interpret Old Testament law today
The relationship between Israel and the Church
Christ as the fulfillment of all covenants
