 Defining New Covenant Theology
New covenant theology affirms the newness of the new covenant.
The new covenant is not a mere re-expression of the old covenant; it is a true, new covenant.
The new covenant is a distinct covenant; it is the fullest expression of the covenant form, and it is the final expression of the covenant form.

Integral to all Covenant theology is the two-covenant schema of the covenant of works and the covenant of grace.

As to the Covenant theologian’s assertion that the Church has replaced Israel, Romans 8:17 and Galatians 3:29 are combined to show that in Christ we (the Church) are Abraham’s heirs.
