Updates at a Puritan's Mind - Covenant Theology

[C. Matthew McMahon]

I just updated A Puritan's Mind with the following articles and information:

Covenant Concepts in Francis Turretin's Institutes of Elenctic Theology
by C. Matthew McMahon
(This will be a very helpful work for those struggling with making identifications in the Covenant of Grace and how that covenant should be divided into time periods: Eternity, in the OT and at the incarnation.)

A Summary of Witsius' Economy of the Covenants Between God and Man
by C. Matthew McMahon
(It does not get much more helpful than this - a short guide to Witsius, and it is hyperlinked!)

by C. Matthew McMahon
(A Book you should avoid)

An Overview of O. Palmer Robertson's Book, The Christ of the Covenants
by C. Matthew McMahon
(A helpful book overview)

A Long Overview of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion
by C. Matthew McMahon
(If you are fearful of reading Calvin's magnum opus, then this summary may be for you. It runs about 100 pages, and it is hyperlinked as well!)

Excellent Matthew!! I really liked your piece on Hanko's book as it hit home to me personally. You see I read his book a couple of years ago and really becamed confused and one sided.

However, praise be to God, I read Witsius last fall and finally began to really understand covenant theology.

Thanks again Matthew for all your work and help in the Lord.
