Summary: Foundational for every seeker of the Lord
Review: This book will provide an excellent foundation for the believers in Christ to both know and experience the new covenant. Transcribed from spoken messages in 1931 by Watchman Nee and in 1949 by Witness Lee, the two sections of knowing and experiencing the new covenant were put together and published as this book before Watchman Nee was imprisoned by the communists in 1952.

Nee carefully expounds the Scriptures to show the reader the difference between God's first covenant and God's new covenant. "The new covenant," Nee explains, "is God's eternal purpose, which is to work Himself into the man whom He created." This theme pervades nearly all the ministry of these renowned servants of the Lord, and is developed in later ministry as the economy of God.

The three items of the new covenant include forgiveness of sins, the impartation of the law of life, and having an inward knowledge of God. Lee, depending heavily upon the Scriptures, develops these three items from the perspective of the Christian's experience. Based on my reading, I believe that after seeing all that is presented in this book regarding God's new covenant, the seeker of the Lord will likely no longer be content with a mere objective knowledge of God, and he is helped to enter into the relationship with God that He desires. I highly recommend "The New Covenant".
