Product description

This book is an effort to continue the discussion going on in our day concerning the important issue of covenant theology among Baptists and paedobaptists.

527 pages

Published 2014

If you are interested in covenant theology, this book is for you. It in no way pretends to be a fully worked-out Baptist covenant theology. It contains essays by thirteen different authors who do not necessarily advocate the fine details of every contribution, something that is quite common with multiple-author works.

After the Preface and Introduction, the first main section is historical. It seeks to set a historical-theological context for the reader. The second section discusses various biblical issues related to covenant theology. The third section of the book, though the shortest, seeks to put things together, though certainly not in any comprehensive sense.

Recovering a Covenantal Heritage is more than a book title; it is a welcomed clarion call for modern Reformed Baptists. May it receive a wide and thorough reading, and spark a renewal of distinct Reformed Baptist theology! Voddie Baucham

By recovering a covenantal theology that is central to biblical revelation, this book helps to re-signify the Baptist identity by grounding it in the biblical-covenantal framework and by showing its organic relationship to the Reformed faith. Leonardo De Chirico
