I am thrilled to see this remarkable volume now available in print. I was privileged to read a draft copy of the manuscript and found it both comprehensive and well-written. Dr. Perkins is one of the rising, young, scholar-pastors in the Reformed tradition, and it is my hope that this volume introduces him to a wide audience. This is a book which belongs on your bookshelf, but only after it is thoroughly dog-eared and heavily highlighted. This is good stuff.

Reformed scholarship in the field of biblical theology (Vos, Kline, Horton, Gaffin, Beale, etc.,) has done great work in advancing our understanding of the nature of covenants in the ancient world, as well as explain how these breakthroughs ought to inform the way we read and understand our bibles in light of the broad course of redemptive history. For some time, the Reformed scholarly pendulum has swung in the direction of biblical theology, but with this volume we may begin to see the pendulum swing back in the direction of a more systematic approach, hopefully to a place of balanced equilibrium.
