Summary: Everybody needs to see this book.
Comment: After 55 years of being in churches, Lutheran, Missionary, Nazarene, non-denominational, charismatic, etc. I have never heard this explained before.

Pastors, you need to read this book! Sunday School teachers, you need to read this book! It's profound and very simple, at the same time. No wonder Jesus seemed to preach one thing and the rest of the New Testament seemed to preach a different thing.

I urge everyone to read this book; let God speak to your heart and you will be relieved to hear the truth.

Mr. Weaver, we look forward to reading your next books.

Summary: The Covenants Meet at the Cross
Comment: I really enjoyed reading this book. The writer utilizes an tool that is far too often missing in theology and exegesis. That tool is common sense. Those who disagree with the writer's methods and conclusions will no doubt seek to attribute his ideas to the bogeyman of "dispensationalism". The message of this book can not be explained away in such a simplistic manner however. Where does the Old Covenant end and the New Covenant begin? Somewhere between Malachi and Matthew? The basis for Weaver's "Gospel Solution" is that the two covenants meet at the cross, and that the purpose of Jesus' ministry prior to the cross, was not to lay down the rules for the New Covenant, but to prepare the people of the Old Covenant for the coming of the New. Alongside this book I recommend Philip Janowsky's "The Evangelical Essential".

Summary: Transitionalism explained
Comment: Have you ever had problems with some of the sayings of Jesus in the New Testament? So have I. What was Jesus trying to say? The Authors of this great book explain why we have those problems with the hard sayings of Christ.

I agree with what Tom Weaver and John Souter wrote in this book regarding Transitionalism. I will expain the four principles below.

Principle #1 Transitional
The ministry of Jesus is lived under the old covenant. While it prepared people for the coming new covenant, it was primarily directed towards those still living under the law.

Principle #2 Conviction
The purpose in the Lord's teaching ministry was to bring his people, the Jews, to a conviction of sin so that they could grasp their need for a savior and be ready for grace.

Principle #3 Evocative (i.e. to call anew) Jesus meant to evoke (or even provoke) a response from his audience rather than just to clarify his meaning. The significance of what he said was often meant to dawn on his hearers with unexpected and subtle power.

Principle #4 Interwoven Context
Any single passage with the synoptic Gospels should be viewed and understood in the light of the larger context of Scripture
surrounding it. Adjacent passages are often interwoven together to interpret one another.

This book is great in that it explains passages in Jesus Christ's teaching ministry that are hard to take ... i.e., if your right hand offends you cut it off; if you eye offends you, pluck it out, etc. I think Jesus' goal was to make folks realize that to follow law was so hard that the only way they could be saved was the need for a savior. How enlightening!!! 5 Stars!!!
