A Primer on Progressive Covenantalism

Christ Over All is a fellowship of pastor-theologians dedicated to helping the church see Christ as Lord and everything else under his feet.

When Peter Gentry and Stephen Wellum wrote Kingdom through Covenant (2012), they introduced an approach to the Bible that stands between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism. Without attempting to create something novel or merely balancing two competing theologies, Progressive Covenantalism holds forth a rigorously, exegetical approach to the Bible—one that reads Scripture on its own terms, so that each covenant relates to and results in God’s kingdom coming by means of Christ’s new covenant. This month, join us as we discover how God has established his kingdom through a series of covenants that bring us to Jesus Christ—who is Lord over all!

Crossway Publishers is graciously providing a free pdf copy of A Christian Manifesto to readers of Christ Over All for the month of October.

What is Progressive Covenantalism? Part 2

By Stephen Wellum

The biblical covenants which give shape to Scripture finally culminate in the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ. What does this mean for the church, God’s New Covenant people?

What is Progressive Covenantalism? Part 1

By Stephen Wellum

The ultimate storyline of the Bible finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, but how does this story develop and advance? It does so through the unfolding of various covenants which progressively reveal God’s redemptive plan for his people.

Typological Reading Versus Typological Writing (Part Two)

Ardel Caneday 10.3.23

When we rewind the tape and look at the Old Testament from our New Testament perspective, we see that the story really was about Jesus all along.

Typological Reading Versus Typological Writing (Part One)

Ardel Caneday 10.2.23

As readers, we do not have authority to view a text through any interpretive lens of our choosing. When we speak of typology then, we do not speak of an optional tool by which we can analyze Scripture. Rather, we refer to the Spirit-inspired patterns woven into the text itself.

The New Covenant

Joshua Greever 09.29.23

In order to truly savor the New Covenant, we must recognize how it both stands in continuity with the previous biblical covenants, yet also stands apart as a uniquely glorious set of promises.

The Podcast

Jesus Christ reigns over all things, and this podcast exists to help people see the reality and ramifications of this truth. We post at least four times a month: Twice, we will read aloud a longform essay from our monthly theme. And twice, we will discuss each essay with its author and another Christian leader. Listen in to live in light of Christ’s Lordship.

Upcoming Themes

In keeping with our vision to edify the church with evergreen content, our website is organized around monthly themes. These themes may focus on the Bible, theology, church, or culture. Over the course of the year we cover all these vital areas. There is a place for real-time responsiveness to cultural and evangelical controversy, but monthly themes do not focus on that priority. Rather, we plan our themes months in advance, curating a stable of writers with tailored assignments. Our hope is to foster mature and biblically-grounded reflection. To that end, with acknowledgement that all we plan is subject to God’s will, here are Christ Over All’s upcoming themes.

About Christ Over All

Christ Over All is a ministry that aspires to edify the church with evergreen content that will help the church think in biblical categories and apply Christ’s preeminence to all areas of life. In an age where the internet is often hyper-reactive and hostile, we will take a different path.

Applying All the Scriptures to All of Life

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
