Hello, brothers and sisters.
As some of you may know, I have been frustrated by the fact that I have not found a helpful resource that deals clearly with the covenant theology of the Puritans from a paedobaptist perspective and emphasis, particularly in a way that it can be set side-by-side with and as a response to Pascal Denault's work on the English Baptists' covenant theology. Well, at a local Bible conference I picked up Joel Beeke's and Mark Jones' A Puritan Theology: Doctrine for Life volume published by Reformation Heritage Books. In it, the two authors deal directly with the paedobaptist Puritans' response to the "antipaedobaptists" in England, with an emphasis on their understanding of the covenant of grace, making it among the most helpful works I have read on this subject. No longer am I forced to suffer through endless and fruitless conversation about whether or not there were infant in the households in Acts. Rather, the real issue of the differences in covenant theology are becoming clearer to me through this work. I highly recommend it.
Has anyone else picked up this volume?
