Christ and Covenant Theology: Essays on Election, Republication, and the Covenants

"In the biblical drama of the living God's works in creation and redemption,"? writes Cornelis Venema, "no theme is more lustrous than that of God's gracious intention to enjoy communion with humans who bear His image and whose lives have been broken through sin."? This collection of Venema's essays summarises and defends a broad consensus view of the doctrine of the covenants in the history of Reformed theology, and clarifies several areas of dispute.

"No one today is better qualified to address the perennially important issues of covenant theology than Cornel Venema. In this volume he considers some of these issues in the context of current discussions and debates, doing so in a particularly instructive and helpful manner."?

"Cornelis Venema sheds much-needed light on issues ranging from the doctrine of republication to the Federal Vision theology. Regardless of whether one agrees with all of Venema's specific conclusions, his arguments cannot be ignored. A must-read."?
