Product Description

Since biblical times, history is replete with promises made and promises broken. Pastors and teachers know the power of the covenant, and they know that understanding the concept of covenant is crucial to understanding Scripture. They also know that covenant theology provides the foundation for core Christian beliefs and that covenants in their historical context hold significance even today. But to laypeople and new Christians, the eternal implications of "cutting" a covenant with God can be complicated. Now available in trade paper, Introducing Covenant Theology unwinds the intricacies of covenant theology, making the complex surprisingly simple and accessible to every reader. With keen understanding, careful scholarship, and insight, Michael Horton leads all believers toward a deeper understanding of crucial covenant concepts.

Best Intro to Covenant Theology
Michael Horton's work is of supreme value to the student of theology and the interested lay person alike. Although the cover describes it as an introduction to Covenant Theology it may be a little too full for the first time reader in this area. That said, Horton writes with an extremely engaging style and shows the value of the Covenant system for our understanding of the Bible. Whether you agree with everything that Horton says he is one of the finest minds working in theology today. All of his works deserve careful study.
