In Granite or Ingrained?: What the Old and New Covenants Reveal About the Gospel, the Law, and the Sabbath

by Skip MacCarty

Popular claims about the old and new covenants have diminished the gospel and narrowed the faith and spiritual life of millions of Christians. Those claims have introduced confusion about what it truly means to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Christians earnest in their walk with the Lord will see a dynamic element of the gospel in the profound relationship between love and law. They will, perhaps for the first time, understand the apparent dichotomy of old and new covenants in the New Testament. And in the process they will be confronted with a powerful appeal and an unmistakable warning.

Reviews

[Jonathan Walter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent, biblical study on the true meaning of the old and new covenant(s).

[Andreas Beccai · Rating 4 out of 5]

A thoroughly biblical interaction with a very important question. There are some who have written on the convenants without dealing with the difficult passages in Hebrews. MacCarty does not skirt any of the biblical passages on the convenants, and as a result gets right to the heart of the matter. My eyes were opened and my life impacted reading this book.
