Dominion and Dynasty

About “Dominion and Dynasty”

Christian theologians often overlook the Old Testament in its final Hebrew form, even though it was likely the version used by Jesus and the early church. However, when read as a whole, the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) offers a unifying structure that reveals a broader narrative. In his work, Stephen G. Dempster presents the idea that the Hebrew Bible, despite its diverse genres and texts, has a coherent structure and conceptual unity. The books are part of a larger story that spans from Adam to the Son of Man and to David, pointing toward a future Davidic ruler. This narrative framework gives the texts a unified context and meaning.
