Dual covenant theology
Dual covenant theology, also called two-covenant theology, posits that God has established a covenant with Israel through the Mosaic Law and another with Gentiles through Jesus Christ. Many Christians, especially in the Reformed Protestant tradition, believe the New Covenant superseded the Old Covenant. However, the moral law is “forever binding” (Dillehay, J., “3 Parts of the Law: A Case for Continuity of the Moral Law,” www.thegospelcoalition.org, 3/18/24, accessed 12/26/24). A minority position argues that the New Covenant abrogated the Old Covenant. According to dual covenant theology, however, the Old Covenant remains valid for Jews, and the New Covenant only applies to Gentiles.
