It must bewilder many Christians that teachers and preachers using the same Bible can come up with so many different interpretations and, more particularly, applications of God’s Word. One of the main reasons for this confusion is their handling of the word ‘covenant’, which is so fundamental to scripture. The two key questions are: how many covenants has God made with human beings and how many of these apply to Christians today? Some say there is only one (‘the covenant of grace’) running right through scripture, though they might add a second (‘a covenant of works’) which applied only to Adam in Eden. Most think there are two (the ‘old’ and the ‘new’) corresponding to the Old and the New ‘Testaments’ (a synonym for ‘covenant’). Others claim to have found seven (though they usually call them ‘dispensations’). This author believes there are five which are basic to the story of our redemption – the Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic and Messianic. Only one of these is ‘old’ and therefore obsolete; only one is ‘new’ but endorses the other three. With this insight we can ‘rightly divide the word of truth’ (2 Timothy 2:15; NIV has ‘correctly handle’). See if you agree!

About the Author
David Pawson was born in 1930. His father was a Methodist minister and his grandfather, a Professor of Agriculture. David, however, began his career with a degree in Agriculture at Durham University, England. With a newly acquired farm in Scotland, David was surprised when God intervened and led him to become a Christian minister. After completing an MA in Theology at Cambridge University, David became a chaplain in the Royal Air Force for three years. He then moved on to pastor a number of churches in England including the Millmead Centre in Guildford where under David’s caring leadership, the church became a model for many UK church pastors. His time at Millmead was also his most fruitful in terms of the library of his audio teachings. In 1979 David was released from the Millmead Centre to fulfill a wider international ministry. David now has an itinerant ministry predominantly to church leaders world wide. Millions of copies of his audio Bible teachings have been distributed to over 120 countries. He is a writer and speaker of urgency, clarity and uncompromising faithfulness to the Scriptures. He is widely considered to be one of the world’s finest biblical expositors.

Informative
By Silvy
David Pawson is very clear and informative in this easy to read book. It proved very helpful in defining the five biblical covenants and where we stand with them today.

TWIN-Vaccine: Against both Replacement and One Law (NEO-Galatian) Theologies.
By Mark Phillips
As David Pawson has said (I'm here paraphrasing him from memory), if Satan cannot keep someone OUT of something, he will push them TOO FAR into it. In other words, whereas God's will for disciples is a BALANCED theology, and a daily walk on the narrow and STRAIGHT Way, Satan endeavors to dog someone with IMBALANCE, in whatever area it may be. God's will is LIBERTY; whereas Satan and unseen enemies in the heavenly places are looking to lead disciples to the left or the right; into the swamps of LICENSE or LEGALISM. Indeed, there are two errors regarding Israel which stand on either side of plumb: Replacement Theology on one side; One Law Theology (or Neo-Galatianism) on the other.
An oversimplification of course, but in a nutshell, instead of building their theology from Genesis (1:1) UPWARDS, Replacement Theology folk (i.e., those into TULIP Theology) have built it from Romans (9:6) OUTWARDS (in both directions; I.e., reading their ideas back to Genesis, and on to Revelation); One Law folk meanwhile, instead of building their theology from Genesis (1:1) TO Revelation (22:21), have built it TO Matthew (5:20).
*****
Replacement Theology: In Scripture, Israel is an Olive Tree into which wild branch Gentiles are grafted and connected to Israel (and to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob); but in effect (courtesy of Replacement Theology), for almost 2,000 years, Israel has been seen as something of a (God-forsaken) CATERPILLAR; and "Christianity" has been a conceited (and imaginary) Grace-BUTTERFLY; worse still, a butterfly that considers herself to be "The NEW Israel." Evangelism in Acts is FRUITION-based - not some new religion/faith, but the FRUITION of the HOPE of the fathers: Acts 2:29-31; 3:13-16,22-26; 5:30-31; 9:20; 10:42-43; 13:32-42; 17:1-3; 22:3,14; 23:1; 24:14-16; 26:6-7,22-23; 28:23. A new faith/religion?!
One Law (Neo-Galatian) Theology: In a nutshell, One Law folk think that the more a Gentile disciple matures in the faith, the more they will see that God wants them to keep the Law of Moses, along with Jewish disciples (or as they would put it, to keep the Torah); or in other words, they think ethnic differences should fade away, as both Jew and Gentile alike come under One Law. Yes indeed, it is true to say that in Messiah Yeshua there is neither Jew nor Gentile [i.e., no difference between the two]; but that is in regard to being co-heirs of the promise made to Abraham - it is not in regard to 24/7 everyday living (i.e., dietary laws and so on). For it must not be forgotten that it also says that in Messiah Yeshua there is neither male nor female, and that obviously means only in relation to being co-heirs; not in terms of living without regard to gender differences!! One Law folk need to see that just as gender differences do not vanish in Messiah; neither to ethnic/culture differences.
In Scripture (noting especially the following: Acts 15, and the resultant letter to the Gentile churches; Romans 7:1-8:17; and the entire letter of Galatians), we find that WITH THE FRUITION of the Abrahamic HOPE and PROMISE (in the Person of Yeshua; and the New Covenant in His blood), WHEREAS in pre-Golgotha days the Jews were called to walk a straight and narrow path by rules/regulations/LAWS (i.e., by commands), the risen, exalted and appointed Judge of the living and the dead now wants to BAPTIZE/IMMERSE His Jewish [and Gentile] disciples in the HOLY Spirit - so that they may now walk a straight path through life not by mere regulations, but by conscious RELATIONSHIP with the One who gave those regulations/laws: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; in the Person of the HOLY Spirit (and not laws on EXTERNAL STONE, which are observed by OLBLIGATION; but laws on the INTERNAL heart, which are adhered to by INCLINATION). Problem is, because of intellectual, dry and seriously sub-scriptural evangelism (for centuries), a Scriptural reception of the Holy Spirit has been shelved; and as a result, some (like the One Law folk), who are therefore (sincere but experientially) short-changed, now want to bring Jew and Gentile disciples back to walking by external regulation. (Note: Many/most Reformed Theology advocates - who are into Replacement Theology - are in the same boat as the One Law guys: they also lack a conscious relationship with the HOLY Spirit).
To uphold the Tanakh (Genesis to Malachi) as a priceless treasure that is "profitable for teaching" (for both Jew and Gentile alike) is as it should be; likewise, to point out that the New Covenant is no command-free zone is no problem either (!!!: Matthew 28:18-20; John 14:15-24; 1 Corinthians 7:19-20; 1 John 2:3-6; 2 John 6). That said, to think that Gentile disciples are to basically fly in the face of Acts 15 and Galatians is another story altogether.
*****
This little book of David serves to humbly call both sides towards plumb: The Replacement guys (who have - in effect - de-BONED Holy Scripture; I call it EvanJELLYcal Theology!), are called back to a scriptural regard for the five covenants God has made, and to a scriptural regard for God's covenant people - Israel/the Jews. The One Law guys meanwhile (indeed, the Replacement guys too), need to pay very close attention indeed, to what David has to say about receiving and KNOWING the Holy Spirit (crucially, David has included his personal testimony; in which he relates how he received the Holy Spirit, in a manner consistent with Acts 2:4/8:18/10:44-47/19:6).
BTW: In the diagram on page 35 (paperback edition), in the bottom left-hand square, instead of putting "PARTY Who with?" (in regard to the Messianic Covenant as David calls it - "The New Covenant with Israel" being a longer but more accurate title), David has instead put who ANNOUNCED and ACHIEVED it. Therefore, in that square, I believe it should instead say something like this: "(With) Israel; but AVAILABLE to (and ATONEMENT made for) ALL MANKIND."
Prevention of course, is far easier than cure. Whether it be Replacement, One Law, or whatever other area of theological imbalance, pride can soon build up in its adherents, and thus make unlearning almost impossible. So perhaps the greatest service this little book provides, is to give new disciples a very helpful X-Ray of Scripture (showing them the Covenant BONEWORK of Holy Writ), which basically enables them to thereafter see Scripture Forest despite the trees (as well as inoculating them from both Replacement and One Law thinking).
The Covenant BONEWORK of Scripture being as follows:
The Covenant with Noah, his descendants, and every living creature.
The Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The OLD (Tutor) Covenant with Israel the nation.
The Covenant with King David.
The New Covenant with Israel (Jeremiah 31; Luke 22:20).
Covenants of ROOT, STEM and FLOWER:
The Covenant with Noah his descendants, and every living creature, being as David rightly says, a covenant of SURVIVAL.
The Covenant with King David being one of KINGHOOD.
As for the Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the OLD and NEW Covenants with Israel, I want to call them the FOOTSTEP Covenants: footsteps of lifestyle/faith; a straight and narrow walk to the new Jerusalem (whose Architect and Builder is God). I also want to picture them as Covenants of ROOT, STEM and FLOWER (or if you prefer, ROOT, TRUNK and BRANCHES): The Covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob being the PROMISE-based ROOT of the matter; the STEM being the Old (TUTOR) Covenant with Israel (see Galatians 3:19-26); and the FLOWER being the New Covenant with Israel, whereby the Abrahamic (ROOT and PROMISE-based) Covenant comes into full bloom.
**********
I do think it would be more accurate to say the NEW Covenant is with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-14; Hebrew 8:8-12), than to say (like David does) that it is with the Messiah. But that aside, this is one of the most helpful books that David has ever written. I have already portrayed it as a Bible X-Ray, I'd also call it a highly informative BROAD-BRUSH balloon ride from Genesis to Revelation: David provides the insight; you just bring the binoculars!
There are two other books in particular, which complement what David has said: one relative to Replacement Theology; and one relative to the sincere but relationally dry foundations of One Law (and Replacement) Theology.
Defending Christian Zionism If Israel is not in your theological jigsaw, your picture is seriously unscriptural.
Jesus Baptises in one Holy Spirit David Pawson has served Yeshua from the age of 17; but, it was not until another seventeen years had passed (in 1964), that he understood what it was to RECEIVE and be BAPTIZED/IMMERSED in the Holy Spirit in a manner consistent with Scripture/Acts (the prologue contains his testimony). David does not want anyone else to have to wait that long; his own inadequate initiation perhaps explains why making sure people have been PROPERLY evangelized is one of the biggest burdens of his life.
The ideal starter book of David is his autobiography; I also list another seven of his most important books:
Not As Bad As The Truth: The Musings and Memoirs of David Pawson
The Normal Christian Birth: How to Give New Believers a Proper Start in Life David's MOST IMPORTANT book.
Remarriage is Adultery Unless On marriage.
Practising the Principles of Prayer An UNSUNG and practical look at prayer.
The Maker's Instructions An informative look at The Ten Commandments.
Leadership is Male: What does the Bible say? On gender roles.
Word and Spirit Together: Uniting Charismatics and Evangelicals On the need for BALANCE.
Once Saved, Always Saved?: A Study in Perseverance and Inheritance On the falsity of "Eternal Security."
**********
General Comment: I've read dozens of books ABOUT Scripture: autobiographies; accounts of so-called "Church History"; Scripture overviews; and books that tackle various heresies. But I have limited my book reviews on Amazon, to the mere fraction that I would recommend to others: to books which collectively bring people up to speed on the last 2,000 years; and which provide both vaccine and remedy against some of the most pernicious teachings that have arisen - including (but alas, not only!) Replacement Theology; Replacement SPOUSE-ology (divorce and "remarriage"); Cessationism; Eternal Security (OSAS; Calvinism/Reformed Theology); PRE-Trib Theology ("Dispensationalism"); "Sinner's Prayer" (and largely BINITARIAN) evangelism; and the (1 Samuel 8 DEJA VU) Building-Pulpit-Pew model.
Scripture teachers have a tendency to bring out book after book (after book!); authoring perhaps a lifetime total of millions of fallible words. Add a few teachers together, and you're talking TENS of millions of fallible words; thereby reducing the 800,000 words of Holy Scripture, to a drop in the ocean of (albeit sincere) DISTORTION. Worse still (and deny it to the hilt though many readers will), that ocean of distortion embedded between their ears, becomes the HEAD (and a theological lens/VEIL); Scripture the TAIL.
