That criteria just won't do. Change "years" to "centuries" and then we can talk.I'm looking for books released in the last 15 or 20 years.
No thanks brother 90% of my book collection are reprints. I was advised by a good brother, who is also a pastor, to expand from historic theology to modern Reformed authors.That criteria just won't do. Change "years" to "centuries" and then we can talk.

I've wonder about that one. I have the Coxe/Owen work on 1689 Federalism.I think you will find "Covenant Theology, A Reformed and Baptistic Perspective on God's Covenants" by Greg Nichols a good selection. I have the out of print hardcover, but the paperback published by Solid Ground Christian Books is still in print.
This is good. So are quite a few others in this series, eg A Clear and Present Word: The Clarity of Scripture, by Mark D ThompsonWho Shall Ascend the Mountain of the Lord?: A Biblical Theology of the Book of Leviticus
Oh, this appeared while I was drafting. I've already seconded Sinclair Ferguson! I'd also second Mark Jones, Knowing Christ, although his subsequent one on God wasn't quite so good.Since you're looking for contemporary books, there's likely to be many that are little more than noise, or some that have a temporary value but little staying power (this was also a problem in the past, but many of those books have been largely washed away by the tide of time). Academic engagement with historical theology has obviously improved, and there have been some helpful entries on the practical and pastoral theology sides. Here are a few that I think stand out and will maybe still be read in a further 20 or 30 years.
Sinclair Ferguson, The Whole Christ
David Powlison, Good and Angry
Steven J. Duby, Divine Simplicity: A Dogmatic Account
Cornelis P. Venema, The Promise of the Future
Mark Jones, Knowing Christ
