However, if you’re new to the Covenant Theology world as I am, this book is tough to get through. Renihan assumes you already know all about the arguments between Presbyterians & Particular Baptists regarding covenant theology & infant baptism.

Even after reading these, I feel like I’m listening in on a conversation with people who are totally in the know & I’m barely able to keep up. Here is a direct quote regarding John Owen’s views on covenant theology from page 206: “Though both covenants were founded on promises, the promises of the covenant of grace were ‘efficaciously assumptive,’ but not ‘remunerative. The promises of the covenant of works were remunerative, ‘respecting an antecedent obedience in us.’”
