New Covenant Theology
By Editor | July 15, 2008
Reformed churches across the North American continent are increasingly faced with having to deal with a doctrinal teaching that is finding its way into many churches (especially Reformed Baptist), called “New Covenant Theology”.
The proponents of this theology (men like Tom Wells, Fred Zaspel, John Reisinger, Steve Lehrer, etc) make the claim that this view of biblical interpretation is found in historic Baptist thinking. They are quick to claim C.H. Spurgeon as on “their side” (as one man put it to me), as well as a host of the reformers, including John Calvin.
What they cannot deny, and even admit is that this is a relatively new way to interpret the scripture and certainly New Covenant Theology (NCT) is a relatively “new kid on the block” as far as theological systems go.
I hope to analyze and critique the teaching over the next few weeks and have written some of the leaders of the movement to recommend some books to me (just 1 or 2) in order to be able to look at this theological viewpoint from the position of those who hold it. Stay tuned!

Go for it Pastor Thomas… slay the Hydra of antinomianism
and expose the vipers who promote it.
