In Covenant Theology, author Jeong Koo Jeon makes a much-needed contribution to 21st century biblical and systematic theology. He explores the debate between John Murray and Meredith G. Kline, placing their ideas in the larger context of Biblical studies that have had a direct influence on Reformed theology and evangelicalism. Although the theologies of Murray and Kline contain significant differences, they both maintain a distinction between a covenant of creation and a covenant of grace. In addition, they both advocate a fundamental antithesis between law and gospel, giving a priority to law over gospel in the temporal and logical order of divine works. Jeon sees these distinctions as hermeneutic tools that are essential for better understanding of biblical revelation as well as faith, grace, and atonement.
Dr. Jeong Koo Jeon is a Korean-American minister, poet, professor, theologian, thinker, and writer. He received his B.S in Humanities at Johns Hopkins University; M.A.R and M.Div. at Westminster Seminary California; Ph.D. at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He served as a Visiting Fellow at Yale University Divinity School, and Visiting Scholar at Duke Divinity School and Westminster Theological Seminary. He is a Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Faith Theological Seminary in Catonsville, Maryland, and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
