What the Thunder Said...

This post is to give a quick layout of Horton's methodology as displayed in his introduction, "Before the Curtain Rises."

We must view reality through a lens, argues Michael Horton, author of Covenant & Eschatology (Westminster John Knox, 2004). This is true of all humanity, and we already do it, whether we realize it or not. Where it gets sticky is which lens we will employ. Horton is quite clear: his methodology consists of viewing reality and the biblical text through an eschatological lens, subsumed in redemptive history. His mode is analogical, his model is dramatic, and his context is the covenant.
