The Promise of the Trinity

The doctrine of the pactum salutis (covenant of redemption) offers the idea of a covenant between the three persons of the Trinity for the redemption of humanity. However, most of recent Reformed dogmatics tend to criticize it from biblical, trinitarian, christological, pneumatological, and soteriological perspectives. B. Hoon Woo will demonstrate that the Reformed doctrine of the pactum salutis formulated by Witsius, Owen, Dickson, Goodwin, and Cocceius can give satisfactory answers to modern criticisms. His study is designed not only to demonstrate the invalidity of these criticisms of the doctrine but also to point to its practical implications for theology and the church.
