I'm struggling to find critical reviews of the salvation-historical approach, and would like to know if anyone can recommend resources to see how others have responded.
I don't have in mind the perspective of redemption from a historical perspetive. What I'm thinking of is that of the old era vs new era distinction where salvation can only occur in the new era inaugurated by Christ's first coming, often described as the 'salvation-historical' view. From what I can see, this is becoming increasingly common, in full, or in part, either overtly or subtely. Although it is clear that it goes against the biblical evidence systematised by the reformed view of the covenant of grace in both OT and NT, I've not come accross those who are openly critical of it (as distinct from those who simply promote different views). This is almost certainly due to my lack of wider reading.
I would therefore appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction for critics or opponents of this. Thanks
