ABSTRACT


In accordance with the existing problems, the purpose of writing this paper are: First of all, with few exceptions the field divided into two separate disciplines of Old and New Testament theologies, which at the first continued to retain the term biblical theology. Secondly, along with the concern to maintain the independence of Biblical Theology from dogmatic theology, there went a search for a new philosophical framework by which to integrate the biblical material over and above a straightforward historical reading. Thirdly, among many critical scholars there was a growing assumption that Biblical Theology as an academic discipline was largely anachronistic and was an unfortunate vestige from a past era.

The conclusions are: The relationship between the Old Covenant and the New can be presented as follows: God has only one covenant of grace, and only one eternal people - in which a person obtains a share through faith in Christ alone, the Covenant Head and the Adam of the new humanity. Herein lies the unity of God's eternal plan of salvation, and of the Word as His special revelation to man. It must be put in mind that the God of the Old Testament is also the God of the New Testament. It should be clear that the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is the same God who created man and woman, who established marriage, and who redeemed Israel through the Exodus, foreshadowing the redemption of believers through Christ. The Lord Jesus’ concept of God as Father contained a truth not characteristic of the Old Testament, but yet not negating any Old Testament teaching about God.
