In Granite of Ingrained

In this volume MacCarty offers a brilliant defense of the fundamental unity of the Scriptures. Writing with passion and careful thought, he begins by demonstrating that the fundamental character of God's covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Israel was determined by the DNA of the new covenant (Jeremiah 31). After helpfully distinguishing between historical and experimental old and new covenants, he invites his readers to celebrate with him the glorious fact that in the old covenant, as much as in the new covenant, God offers a "grace-based, gospel-bearing, and mission-directed" covenantal relationship with Himself. Until Christians grasp this message, the Old Testament will remain a dead book to the church.
