Description

Baptism is not merely a profession of faith; it is the sacred rite of entry into the divine covenant. To truly grasp the significance of baptism, one must first understand the covenant in all its biblical complexity. Author John G. Crawford, in this groundbreaking work, unearths the profound significance of covenant, revealing it as the legal bond between two or more parties where each party makes a confession and commits to specific terms, with consequences for failing to honor those terms.

But why is this understanding of the covenant so vital? Because it serves as the divine link between the spiritual and the material, the unseen and the seen, uniting the supernatural with the earthly order. Far from diminishing the role of the Holy Spirit and His transformative work within human hearts, comprehending the covenant offers a tangible expression of the divine power at work in our lives.

In 'What is Covenant?' Crawford redefines the discourse on a multitude of topics, ranging from the covenant's role in shaping family, state, and the Church to its origin in the creation narrative and its connection to the practice of infant baptism. By skillfully connecting the dots, he illuminates how a profound understanding of God's covenant framework elucidates and informs every facet of our existence.
