Wilson's theology is determined by history

 "Wilson writes: 'The subsequent redemptive covenant was equally grounded in history' (64). In this passage Wilson seems to be confusing the Covenant of Redemption with the Covenant of Grace, for the 'redemptive covenant' is not subsequent. But he is wrong about both: Neither the Covenant of Redemption nor the Covenant of Grace is 'grounded in history.' Rather, history is grounded in the invisible and eternal decree of God, and that decree includes the invisible Covenant of Redemption, made between the persons of the Trinity in eternity, and the invisible Covenant of Grace, made between God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ as the substitute for and representative of his people. To suggest that any divine covenant is 'grounded in history' is to get things precisely backwards. Events do not precede thought and doctrine (theology), either logically or chronologically. That is the evolutionary view of the world. The Christian view of the world is that Truth, the Word, Wisdom, Logic is eternal and prior to all history." - John W. Robbins and Sean Gerety, Not Reformed At All, Page 96 and 97
