The Covenant Creation Archive

The purpose of the “Covenant Creation Archive” is to provide those desiring to sincerely and diligently look into a covenantal, non-concordist framework for Genesis creation which harmonizes the beginning of the Bible (creation) with the end of the Bible (Revelation) with a comprehensive collection of study material. While there are doctrinal variations even among the contributors of the articles and audio recordings listed here, all hold in common the only view of Genesis creation which is consistent with a covenantal--as opposed to a cosmological--view of eschatology. Throughout church history, theologians have held to this consistent approach to the Bible. In other words, with YEC (Young Earth Creationist) preterists being the lone exception, every hermeneutical system has maintained a consistency between the beginning and the end.

What you will find as you take the plunge into this study is that the common foundation for every argument presented is the witness of Scripture itself. Be prepared to have your presuppositions challenged. And be assured that at every turn you will be provided with opportunities to make comments and ask questions. So dive in!
