In this address I gave at the Evangelical Theological Society of 2021, I consider how the Bible’s storyline progresses through the historical covenants between God and his people. I argue that Jesus fulfills each covenant in different ways. The Adamic-Noahic covenant with creation establishes the crisis and context of global curse and common grace out of which the other covenants clarify God’s solution and saving grace. The Abrahamic covenant forecasts the hope of Christ and new creation through its conditional yet certain kingdom promises of land(s), seed, blessing, and divine presence. The remaining covenants clarify how God fulfilled these promises in two progressive stages. In the Mosaic covenant (stage 1) Abraham’s offspring as a single nation experience blessing and curse, which results in their exile from the promised land. The Davidic covenant recalls the promises of a royal Deliverer and declares the specific line through whom he will rise. Then the new covenant (stage 2) realizes these hopes in an already but-not yet way through the person and perfect obedience of Christ Jesus, whose kingdom work overcomes the curse with universal blessing, makes Abraham the father of many nations to the ends of the earth, and reconciles all things to God through the new creation. A time of question and answer follows the presentation.

The Biblical Covenants in Salvation History - ETS - 2021

This is the first of two lectures in which I overview Zephaniah's message and lasting relevance.  In this first lecture I overview the setting for the Savior’s invitation (Zeph 1:1-18) and then consider stage 1 of this invitation (2:1-3:7). My hope is that by the time you finish listening to these two lectures you will know that Zephaniah communicates the Savior God’s invitation to satisfaction.

Zephaniah: Rejoicing In Hope (Lecture 1)

This is the second of a two-part lecture series on Zephaniah's message and lasting significance. My goal in this lecture is twofold: (1) Overview the charge to wait for the Lord (3:8–10) and the promises Zephaniah uses to motivate waiting (3:11–20b). (2) Consider how Christ fulfills Zephaniah’s vision of the Lord’s day and what that means regarding the timing and nature of the realization of Zephaniah’s hopes.

Zephaniah:  Rejoicing In Hope (Lecture 2)

I originally gave this presentation to college students. In it, I overview the concepts and literature pertinent to wisdom in the OT. To this end, I consider wisdom's foundational principles, definition, and types and formats. I then provide different examples of interpreting wisdom literature by considering a dialogue (Job 1-2), a couple of monologues (Eccl 3:9-14; 11:7-12:1), and various proverbs. The end result of rightly studying wisdom in the OT is to fear God and treasure Christ more.

Dr. DeRouchie recently appeared on the Theology for the Church podcast. The full episode description is below.

In this episode, Caleb is joined by Jason DeRouchie (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to discuss a progressive covenantalist perspective on how Christians are to apply the law of Moses today. Together, they discuss questions like: should we view OT law as a unit/single entity or adopt the traditional tripartite division of the law? What laws apply to Christians today and in what ways? How do we read OT law through the lens of Christ's fulfillment of it? How do we interpret individual laws and apply them in the teaching and preaching ministries of the church.
