10. Contrary to the dispensationalists’ commitment to compartmentalizing each of the self-contained, distinct dispensations, the Bible presents an organic unfolding of history as the Bible traces out the flow of redemptive history, so that the New Testament speaks of “the covenants [plural] of the [ ...

Given that assurance, and my huge background in hermeneutics (I read How to Read the Bible for All Its Wort ...

Treier says of the canonical-linguistic approach, “it is more text- than author-centered” (115). I don’t think there is a dichotomy there.
