Non-Dispensational, Calvinistic, Credobaptist Covenantalism Compass

How’s that for a title? A friend has asked me a few times to define or give an overview of what New Covenant Theology is and who represents it. I’ve told him it’s a bit difficult because it’s a fractured group with varying views, and some with similar views not claiming the “NCT” label. However, I thought this chart might help clarify the landscape of non-dispensational, Calvinistic credobaptists.

Christian law = 10 Commandments	Mosaic Covenant = Works		Christian law = “law of Christ”
	Reformed Baptist #1: Nehemiah Coxe (editor of the 1677/89 LBCF) Sam & Micah Renihan Jeffrey D. Johnson A. W. Pink Me 🙂	New Covenant Theology: John Reisinger Fred Zaspel Tom Wells Chad Richard Bresson Joe Kelley Providence Theological Seminary
	Reformed Baptist #2: Fred Malone Sam Waldron Walt Chantry Greg Welty	Progressive Covenantalism: Tom Schreiner
	Mosaic Covenant = Grace

Be careful not to read more into this chart than is intended. Each author should be read on their own terms as each often has nuanced explanations of their position. I hesitate to place Peter Gentry and Stephen Wellum on the chart as I haven’t had time to read through their new work yet, which is obviously nuanced – so I don’t want to misrepresent it. They clearly wind up on the right hand side of the chart, but I don’t know if it would be top or bottom. Given this fact, I hesitate to use the label “Progressive Covenantalism” in the bottom right because this is how they describe themselves… but I don’t know what else to call that position.

I welcome any and all comments, questions, corrections, clarifications, & additions. I hope this is helpful.
