Description

In this groundbreaking work, Rev. Schwertley offers the first scholarly exposition and defense of national covenanting since 1843. This comprehensive treatment delves into various aspects, including the binding nature of covenants, covenant renewals under the godly kings of Israel, responses to objections against covenanting, the critique of the U.S. Constitution, the alteration of the Westminster Confession of Faith in 1789, the necessity of the Old Testament moral law for a Christian nation, and the biblical requirements for civil office. Providing a systematic and organized presentation, the author not only establishes the biblical case for social or national covenanting but also critiques modern pluralistic alternatives to the original Presbyterian teaching on this vital topic.
