Books on covenant theology tend to be weighty, in length and in content. David McKay, however, has written an overview of the the Bible’s teaching on covenant that is brief, engaging, and richly instructive. In seventeen relatively short chapters, Dr McKay unpacks the profound significance of God’s covenants in the flow of redemptive history and shows how central the concept of covenant is to understanding the gospel of Christ. This is a book every serious minded Christian should read, they will be richly the better for doing so.
