Following his remarkable exegesis on the first and second periods of
Jesus' genealogy, the best-selling author, in the fifth installment of
The History of Redemption series, covers the third and final period,
which spans the fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to Jesus
Christ. The Promise of the Eternal Covenant sheds light upon the
labyrinth-like history of the 600 years before Jesus' birth. Throughout
the book, Rev. Abraham Park demonstrates that God is sovereign over all
history; the rise and fall of nations, kingdoms, and empires occur all
according to God's eternal decrees and providence. His readers will be
filled with assurance that God's promise of the Eternal Covenant will
certainly be fulfilled.
