Optiv Theology Podcast: Is The New Covenant Better Than The Old Covenant? | Jared Compton
In this episode, I got to talk with Jared Compton. Jared is the Associate Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis, MN. He has written several books including Psalms 110 and the Logic of Hebrews and Biblical Theology according to the Apostles: How the Earliest Christians Told Israels Story. Jared is also a frequent writer for Desiring God and has written some for The Gospel Coalition.
In this conversation, Jared and I discuss his newest article for Desiring God, Should We Envy Abraham? Jared explains the difference between the Old Covenant God made with His people in the Old Testament and the New Covenant God made through Christ in the New Testament. We talk about the story set forth in Scripture revealing that the New Covenant is better than the Old Covenant! We also discuss how this relates to the necessary relationship between truth and beauty. I hope you enjoy!
