What Does Covenant have to do with Creation | Michael Allen

Lecture Title - Into the Family of God: Creation, Covenant, and the Genesis of Life with God The book of Genesis sketches the foundations not only of human society and creatureliness but of the church and Christian worship. To help make sense of both origins and ends of creation, the book draws our attention to the doctrine of the covenant and the pledge that people are drawn “into the family of God.” In this lecture, Allen will follow the basic theological moves of the doctrine of the covenant in this fundamental text, seeking to sketch its implications for a number of theological and anthropological concerns, not least the doctrine of creation. R. Michael Allen (PhD Wheaton College) is John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology and Academic Dean at Reformed Theological Seminary. He is co-author of A Companion to the Theology of John Webster (Eerdmans, 2021) and author of The Fear of the Lord: Essays on Theological Method (T&T Clark, 2021). The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
