O. Palmer Robertson presents the richness of a covenantal approach to understanding the Bible. He treats the Old Testament covenants from a "successive" standpoint―that each covenant builds on the previous one.

Editorial Reviews

Review

I now know where to look for a clear, thorough and fair-minded exposition of this great subject. -- Derek Kidner

Clearly written...[This book] should prove of substantial help for anyone wishing a better understanding of the covenant concept as a central thrust of the biblical message. -- R. O. ZORN, vox Reformata

Robertson has achieved a rare balance of clarity and simplicity while interacting with other viewpoints and incorporating the insights of modern scholarship . . . Many Bible students long for a readable and reliable book that gives an overview of the whole Bible. This is it! -- JOHN H. WHITE, Bible Newsletter

    This book is one of the few theological works that will truly deepen your understanding of the Bible from beginning to end. Used as a textbook at some seminaries. Dr. Robertson lives in NC and is still teaching and ministering in wonderful ways.

    Verified Purchase
    Robertson is an author that I have trusted for a long time as a student of the Bible. He addresses some of the most difficult subjects very plainly for the everyday student of Scripture. I recommend his work for anyone who wants to know more about God's revelation of Himself in the whole of Scripture through the biblical theological subject of 'covenant'.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Robertson Does Well, Could Have Done Better
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This title was a very good explanation of covenant theology. Others have highly recommended it to me, and rightly so. Descriptions are provided of the various Biblical covenants. There's also a chapter distinguishing covenants from dispensations. At the end of the book, Robertson begins with a moving account of how OT passages applying to Israel have been fulfilled or are being fulfilled in a non-dispensational manner. He sputters at the end, with an anti-climatic conclusion that leaves a doubtful dispensationalist unconvinced. He does well but could have had done a bit better. I give it four stars, recommending it for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of covenant theology.

    Make sure you read this and have a pencil to write and comment in the book, and a Bible at the ready (load a Bible on your phone if you haven’t already and be prepared to be “googling”). I hope you have several “wow” moments like I did. Christian— you need this book.

    I consider this to be one of the most comprehensive and valuable books on God's Redemptive promise and fulfillment in Christ! I have given copies to most everyone in my family and close friends. I believe it adds a needed and clear foundation for understanding God's character and love for His people.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    This is not a book for the average reader. It is quite scholary and needs close and careful reading. Some of the things written were beyond me.

    The title is not entirely accurate and is misleading. It is not about Christ but the covenants.

    The Covenant of Redemption made within the Trinity is not included - it only concerns itself with those made with man. All this covenant gets is a few words with a comment that it will not be included.
