Samuel Willard's "The Covenant of Redemption" is at the printers and is due here in a few weeks. Most here would be familiar with the two covenants God made with mankind, the Covenant of Works and the Covenant of Grace. But not many are as familiar with the covenant God made with Himself and with Christ, which theologians call the Covenant of Redemption.
In this rare work by this New England Puritan (1640–1707), Willard opens this doctrine in its fullness and shows us the eternal plan God devised to honor His Son before the entire universe and the obedience of Christ in agreeing to the terms of the covenant. The Covenant of Redemption came first and is the basis and foundation for all that God intended to do for lost sinners.
God's reason for doing so is stated thus by Willard:
"It was that God might express His free and undeserved favor to a number whom He had chosen to be made partakers in it, that He might bestow on man a salvation which he never labored for; bring him to a heaven he never earned; enrich him with a portion which he could never have purchased, and free him from a misery which would else have swallowed him up forever, and which he procured to himself."
This work has been completely retypeset from the 1693 edition and edited (not abridged in any way). It is an exposition of Psalm 89:3: "I have made a covenant with My Chosen, I have sworn unto David My servant."
Samuel Willard pastored the Old South Church in Boston from 1678 until his death in 1707. He was also president of Harvard College for a time. He is probably best known for his "Complete Body of Divinity," 250 sermons organized according to the Westminster Shorter Catechism, published posthumously in 1726.
This 200 page hardback book is stitch sewn and printed on acid-free paper. The retail price is $28. Your price is $20 plus shipping.
