Replacement Theology = Covenant Theology

Last night, I decided to do a google for baptist forums to see what's out there, what they discuss, etc. I came across a KJV-only independent fundamental baptist forum, and decided to poke around a little. I was curious, so I searched for "Covenant Theology" to see what their thoughts were.

I found a thread or two that basically said that covenant theology was another name for replacement theology. The church is now the recipient of God's promises, and national Israel is not. That was pretty much the extent of their discussions about covenant theology. Pretty deep stuff!

I'm a little curious, but not much, about what has been written under the heading of replacement theology. Truthfully, I'm not too inclined to read much about it, but I was wondering if any of you have read any books about replacement theology, particularly books written by its proponents. How close (or how much out in left field) do these books come to explaining what covenant theology is?

A reoccurring thought:

Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
