Hi Englih Rose,


This link will provide u with a basic definition of NCT, and along with various critique of NCT.

http://www.biblelighthouse.com/covenants/nct.htm

See especially the articles by Richard Barcellos. His did his Thesis on NCT; this evolved into a book that you can find Amazon - "In Defense of the Decalogue". The strength of book is his quotes old reformed Giants to refute NCT. Greg Welty also wrote some very good rebuttals to the movement. I would say many of the reformed baptist scholars now tend to be sympathetic to NCT in some form or fashion. The following Theopedia note is accurate, IHMO.

"Leaders of this movement include such theologians as John Reisinger, Jon Zens, Peter Ditzel, Fred Zaspel, Tom Wells, Gary Long, Geoff Volker and Steve Lehrer. The writings of Douglas Moo, Tom Schreiner, [Peter O'Brien], and D.A. Carson, on the relation of the Christian to the law reveal their sympathies with NCT. However they have not wanted themselves to be so labeled. John Piper also has many points of contact with this movement, but an article at Desiring God carefully distinguishes his position from the Covenant, New Covenant and Dispensational theological systems.

I apologize for not linking as properly; it's been a very long time since I have posted on the site and have forgotten everything. In few days, I should be able to get a handle posting correctly again

Let me know if you have any questions,
