Two Testaments, One Problem: Reclaiming Christianity for the Age of Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798297390096)

Discover the Freedom of the Fulfilled Covenant

For centuries, many Christians have been told that the Old and New Testaments must be perfectly harmonized - that the laws, purity codes, and ceremonial practices of ancient Israel still carry weight for followers of Christ today. This belief has led to confusion, strained interpretations, and a faith often burdened by obligations never meant for the New Covenant.

In this clear and thought-provoking work, Dominic Knight traces a deeply personal journey:

• From a devout Catholic upbringing,

• Through disenchantment when key doctrines proved absent from Scripture,

• Into years of searching without a church,

• Conversion to Lutheranism,

• And finally, a rediscovery of the liberating truth - that Jesus fully and finally fulfilled the Old Covenant.

Drawing on careful reading of Scripture, accessible theological insight, and lived experience, this book dismantles the need to "force-fit" Old Testament narratives into the teachings of Christ. Instead, it reveals the Gospel as a complete, sufficient covenant that frees believers from the weight of outdated law.

You'll discover:

• Why the Old Covenant cannot be blended with the New without distortion

• How the early Church navigated the tension between law and grace

• Why Jesus' fulfillment of the law is more than a doctrinal point - it's a life-changing reality

• How to approach Scripture without fear of contradiction

Written for Christians of all backgrounds - from lifelong churchgoers to those disillusioned by institutional religion - this book is both a theological exploration and an invitation to renewed spiritual clarity.

If you've ever felt uneasy about strained explanations or wondered why some teachings seem forced, this book offers a path toward peace - and the courage to let the old truly pass away.

For readers of Bart D. Ehrman, N. T. Wright, and Philip Yancey - and for every believer who suspects the Gospel is simpler, and freer, than they've been told.
