I'm FINALLY getting around to actually reading this chapter.
Would Calvin be considered a Covenant Theologian? IOW, would Calvin preach that Israel has been set aside and that the Church is now the inheritor of all the promises?
Hey, good to get back to this! There is a basic misunderstanding on what Covenant Theologians believe, and that prompts your question. My default answer is to reject the premise: Israel as a national entity was set aside, Not the Jews. The Reformers have taught that the identity of Israel, hence the promises to Israel, will be fulfilled by the Church. This understanding comes from Paul in the Romans letter. "All Israel is not Israel". It does NOT follow that God does not deal with the Jews. Evidence of this is individual Jewish Converts. It simply means that The Gentiles and the Jews who encompass the church have replaced the national entity of Israel. So, yes, Calvin is a Covenant Theologian.
