What if much you hold sacred in your understanding of the Bible was turned upside down? Crosby shows how Jesus’ claims were “challenging and deconstructing to current beliefs about Torah, the temple, and the priesthood.” He reveals how the New Covenant is all about the supremacy of Jesus whose authority presides even over the Old Testament scripture. How New is the New Covenant? paints a vivid picture of what the statement “Jesus is Lord” meant to the ruling Caesars of the day and the radical implications for all who would follow Christ. The Lordship of Jesus is a doctrine universally accepted by most Christians, yet is fully understood by few and lived out in daily life by fewer still. The same message that challenged the religion of Jesus’ day is as timely in this hour as it was then. This well researched book is an invaluable resource that packs a heart-full of inspiration into a small package with a knockout punch.
