Understanding the Distinctive Nature of Baptist Theologies
Progressive covenantalism and 1689 federalism articulate serious theological thinking shaped by the biblical narrative applied to Christian living. While they both delve into Christian doctrine, they slightly differ in their articulation. Progressive covenantalism emphasizes the essential newness of the new covenant, focusing on its unilateral implementation by God requiring obedience from a faithful Son, Christ, for fulfillment. In contrast, 1689 federalism talks about two covenants with Abraham, highlighting the spiritual seed, Christ, fulfilling the covenant with the physical seed, Israel, distinct from the spiritual promises of the new covenant.
