Q

Trace the development of Covenant Theology

A
  1. Covenant theology begins in Scripture and was to some extent developed by Augustine (In Adam, all have broken God’s covenant).
  2. The major development in medieval covenant theology was the proposition by Ockham and Biel (God rewards sinners with a kind of merit when they do their best).
  3. Reformation: Covenant theology as we know it today began in the 16th century with Zwingli, who emphasized the Abrahamic covenant as a model for the Christian’s relationship to God. Calvin also makes extensive use of the covenant. Ursinus first spoke of a pre-fall covenant of works. Olevianus presented the idea of an eternal covenant between the Father and the Son for the salvation of man.
  4. Reformed Orthodoxy: Covenant theology begins to be treated in systematic form (emphasized God’s accomplishment of salvation as the unfolding of his covenant.)
  5. During the 20th century, largely due to the work of Meredith Kline, scholars came to view the biblical covenants through the framework of the ancient Near Eastern Suzerain vassal treaty.
  6. Modern: challenges to classical covenant theology

Reformation

A

16th and 17th Century movement to reform the Church in response to theological and moral decay
-Reformers such as Martin Luther, Zwingli, and John Calvin protested various unbiblical practices of the Catholic Church and promoted a return to sound biblical doctrine. The precipitating event of the Protestant Reformation is generally considered to be Luther’s posting of his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Church on October 31, 1517.

These five important doctrines are the reason for the Protestant Reformation.

Sola Scripture: Scripture alone.

Sola Fide: Faith alone.

Sola Gratia: Grace alone.

Sola Christos: Christ alone.

Soli Deo Gloria: To God alone be the glory.

They are at the heart of the Reformers’ call for the church to return to biblical teaching.

Q

Counter-Reformation

A

16th Century reform of the Catholic Church and counter offensive against the Reformation

The Counter-Reformation was Roman Catholicism’s response to the Protestant Reformation. In the late 15th and early 16th centuries, Christians began to openly criticize the Roman Catholic Church for teaching things contrary to the Bible. The Reformers objected to the veneration (worship) of Mary, the selling of indulgences, the insistence that rituals and sacraments were necessary for salvation, and so forth. As the Reformation took hold culturally and theologically, Catholicism responded with its own efforts. Some of these were intended to change the Catholic Church itself, but most were designed to resist the claims of the Reformers. Collectively, these Catholic efforts became known as the Counter-Reformation.

Two lasting effects came out of the Counter-Reformation: the Jesuit Order (the Society of Jesus) and the Council of Trent.
