It was not an easy read by any stretch of the imagination, but the struggle was well worth the time and effort. Melanie and have been working through this one together and I think that we both benefited greatly from it.
It is, as the title suggests, an introduction to covenant theology. Horton starts by showing the history of covenants in the Near East and then works out a biblical understanding of covenant. Melanie and I both found the final chapters, which were chapters that showed the practical outworking of a covenantal biblical worldview to be especially helpful. In those final chapters Horton helps the reader to better understand baptism, the Lord's Supper, and the purpose and use of the Law. The book is recommended.
