"Typological republication" makes clear that we aren't talking about a Dispensationalist idea of putting Israel under "the" covenant of works. youtu.be/VBtYf2lKljg

Republication depends on the notion that the old covenant order is composed of two layers: the national-typological (upper) layer and the personal-soteriological (lower) layer. But where does Kline get this idea of the two layers? youtu.be/QtX5U8BD51U

I would argue that Republication is taught by Paul in Galatians 3. To refute the Judaizers, Paul explicitly addresses the relationship between the Abrahamic and the Mosaic covenants. youtu.be/iyk3u2xzYOo

If the Old Covenant was breakable (Jer 31:32), how can it be the covenant of grace pure and simple? "For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise" (Gal 3:18). youtu.be/jwx3hiv3uhE

We would beware of Mr. Baxter’s order of setting repentance and works of new obedience before justification; which is indeed a new covenant of works. —Samuel Rutherford

The genuine believer takes the whole of Scripture as a living organism produced by the Holy Spirit to present Christ to him. On every page of Scripture, he finds traits and traces of the Mediator. —Geerhardus Vos Reformed Dogmatics 4.117

For understanding the Heidelberg Catechism, it is very helpful to compare it with Ursinus's Larger Catechism. See them side-by-side here: links.christreformed.org/doctrinevision… Ursinus is more explicit about the covenantal context of the law-gospel distinction and the sacraments.

I recently wrote an article defending the translation "only begotten" in response to the ESV 2025 update. Ideally, our English versions should be in sync with the Nicene Creed. bulletin.kenwoodinstitute.org/unique-only-so…ονογενής/

I translated a short work by Ursinus explaining “This is my body” as a promise of grace to those who use the sacrament rightly, with faith and repentance. heidelblog.net/2025/07/ursinu…
