Hope for Grieving Parents: T.D. Witherspoon on Covenant Children

from Dead Presbyterians Society · host Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

What hope does the covenant of grace offer when a baptized child dies? In this episode Jonathan Master explores T.D. Witherspoon’s Children of the Covenant (1873), written in the wake of profound loss and grounded in God’s promises rather than sentiment. Through the lives of three covenant children, Witherspoon points grieving parents and churches to Christ, the ordinary means of grace, and the sure consolation of belonging to Him.
