The Genesis of Israel: An Exploration of the Bible through the lens of Covenant Creation

In the world of Academic Theology, there are many competing views. But are any truly consistent from cover to cover? Do any of the dominant positions apply a consistent narrative-honoring approach from the first page of Genesis to the last page of Revelation? The Fulfilled Eschatological view has been growing rapidly over the past two centuries. People are realizing that Jesus and His disciples made some very clear and undeniable promises to the people living in that last days generation. The Old Covenant was coming to a close and soon the Old Heaven and Earth would pass away precisely when the Mosaic Law passed away, according to Jesus Himself. With this newfound clarity, and with our once held end times views being shattered, are we honestly able to say that Genesis creation does not deserve another look? If the end of the story pertains only to the de-creation of Israel as a Covenant people, wouldn't it make sense that the start of that same story is concerned with the Genesis of Israel as a Covenant people? Why would the start of the story describe the material creation of the cosmos, but the end of the story describe the destruction of the Old Covenant? In this unique work, DeCosta attacks this very topic from numerous angles while showing the consistency and fluidity of the bible from cover to cover. Knitting and weaving together countless passages, this book brings clarity to many once dark and cloudy areas of scripture. This collection of dozens of topical studies will flesh out and shed new light on the curse of Adam, the language and imagery of the bible, the incredible consistency from Genesis to Revelation, and more. Reading this work is as if you are sitting around the kitchen table having a discussion with the author himself. There is truly no other book in Christendom that will offer what this book does. Be prepared to be challenged in a most enjoyable way!
