Overview

Is it feasible to speak of a Moore School of Biblical Theology? The biblical theology program at Moore Theological College can be traced back to Donald Robinson. One unique contribution of Robinson to Moore's program was his distinction theology concerning the role of Israel in redemption history as his attempt at providing an alternative to dispensationalism and covenant theology. By examining Robinson's view of Jew and gentile in the New Testament church, the reciprocal role of the gospel going forth from Jewish Christians to the gentiles and back to unbelieving Jews (to fulfill the Rom 11 promise "so all Israel shall be saved") and Robinson's eschatological concept of both Jew and gentile forming a new man, and by tracing how his view has been affirmed, revised, rejected, or ignored by biblical theologians at Moore College who were influenced by or who followed Robinson (including Graeme Goldsworthy, Lionel Windsor, D. Broughton Knox, and William Dumbrell), this book seeks to clarify the reception of Robinson's legacy at Moore College as well as offer an assessment on the plausibility of a distinct Moore School of Biblical Theology.

It examines the Moore School of Biblical Theology, pioneered by Donald Robinson, and its relationship to both reformed supersessionism and dispensationalism on the relationship between Israel and the church.
