Our Lord used the phrase, But I say unto you, six times in the Sermon on the Mount. The meaning of this phrase as he used it in Matthew 5 is the subject of disagreement among many sincere Christians. Evangelical theologians generally adopt one of two possible interpretations: One, Christ is contrasting his teaching with Moses’ teaching; or two, Christ is giving the true meaning of Moses and contrasting that with the distortions of Moses by the Pharisees. Which of these positions is correct? The answer we accept directly affects our entire system of theology.
This is no ivory tower debate among academics far removed from the life of the church and individual Christians. Its crucial point addresses the identity and content of the final authority over the Christian’s conscience in matters of morality.
The thesis of this book is one of the foundation stones of a theological position called New Covenant Theology. We believe that our Lord is more than a scribe or rabbi who merely interprets Moses; he is a true prophet. He is “that Prophet,” promised as the new lawgiver who would replace Moses (Deut. 18:15-19). In the Sermon on the Mount, the new lawgiver contrasts his teaching, based on the gracious covenant he established, with the teaching of Moses, based on a covenant of law.
As believers living under the New Covenant, we must look to Jesus Christ as the final revelation of God’s character and will, and allow him alone to set the standards that mark the life of the people of God. We must take seriously the Father’s message, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him” (Mark 9:7).

CONTEXT! is a book written to enhance biblical unity regarding Bible prophecy by getting back to the Bible. It is written specifically as a one-volume textbook for Bible teachers and Bible College and Seminary students who desire to study the word of God. It focuses upon an examination of Ameri-can Evangelicalism and its diverse systems and teaching on the millennium as indicated by the subti-tle Evangelical Views on the Millennium Examined. The book is the result of intermittent studies over 35 years. Some 15 variations of prophetic interpretations relating to the millennial issue are addressed as taught within two basic systems of theology: Dispensational Theology and Reformed or Covenant Theology.
There are five major prophetic teachings that stem from these two basic systems. Each is explained by lengthy firsthand-citations from acknowledged representative scholarly proponents. The five ma-jor teachings are then summarized, examined and questioned in light of five New Testament doc-trinal maxims that the author believes are firmly supported by the context of Scripture. The author then presents an alternate way to interpret the doctrine of the last things that he calls New Covenant Non-Premillennialism. This is accomplished by explaining: (1) the biblical context and the signifi-cance of the biblical doctrine of Spirit baptism within a redemptive history framework; and (2) the importance of the “Now-Not Yet” principle of biblical interpretation.
Over time the author believes that the book may cause many teachers and students to rethink their prophetic beliefs objectively by reexamining their interpretative presuppositions in view of the con-text of Holy Writ. The book concludes with a prophecy questionnaire that highlights the variations present within evangelicalism today that too often hinder the gospel of Christ. Providing a partial solution to this hindrance is the motivating cause for writing CONTEXT!
