A variety of views and nuances of covenant theology exist within the Reformed church and the broader evangelical world. This book seeks to explain covenant theology as presented in the Westminster Confession of Faith as a starting point for discussions of covenant theology and as a foundation to evaluate other views.

… ‘covenant theology’ provides the God–given framework that safeguards the Scriptural message of salvation by grace and promises spiritual renewal, forgiveness of sin, perfect righteousness and deep assurance of faith. He writes in the attractive and simple style of a biblical theologian who nevertheless makes systematic theological sense of a complex subject. This book is a tour de force on the subject.

One of the strengths of the book is that he has taken time to understand the views of those with whom he differs and presents them with kindness and accuracy. His summaries are most helpful. People who are new to the reformed faith will benefit from this easy to read summary of covenant theology which is rooted in Scripture and saturated with the gospel.

Dr. Belcher has been teaching on the biblical Covenants for over twenty–five years, and it shows. Belcher combines a knowledge of Reformed Systematic Theology and the life–long study of the exegetical details of each of the Covenants. I highly recommend this book.

Richard Belcher has given us a welcomed survey and analysis of divine covenants in the Scriptures. His commitment to traditional Reformed Theology is evident as he explains and evaluates a variety of outlooks on biblical covenants. His explanations are clear and insightful. This volume will help many theological students and laypeople alike as they explore the contours of Covenant Theology today.
