The Christ of the Covenants is a great book, IMHO. Particularly helpful and encouraging is that the book includes a lot of exegesis and comments on a lot of Scripture. It doesn't just present the theology, it presents the basis for it. For this reason it's very useful for going through what Scriptures says on the covenants, but also to give to those who do not yet accept covenant theology.

"It is part of the calling of the ekklesia to learn to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge and also to make known within the world of science 'the manifold wisdom of God' in order that the final end of theology, as of all things, may be that the name of the Lord is glorified. Theology and dogmatics, too, exist for the Lord's sake." — Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, vol. 1, p. 46
