It's my understanding that this (Republication View) book is in reponse to the (John Murray's) Mono-Covenantal view.

Are there more than these two views?
Is there a book that compares and contrasts the views with pros and cons?

There's new episode of Office Hours online now. It's an interview with profs David VanDrunen, John Fesko, and Byran Estelle about their volume, The Law is Not of Faith which discusses the covenant of works and the doctrine of republication.

I am new here but excited to find you guys! I had a question that I wanted to lob in to Puritan land. Here it is:

what book do you recommend on Puritan eschatology?

from what I have researched, the Puritans seemed to be Amillenial in their eschatology, with a few exceptions. I recently completed a class on eschatology which left me with more questions than answers.

Thanks for your help! ]]> Covenant Theology passingpilgrim http://www.puritanboard.com/f31/puritan-eschatology-book-recommendations-54759/ http://www.puritanboard.com/f31/romans-11-28-a-54758/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:46:48 GMT Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. - Romans 11:28

Hmmm... can anyone give the Reformed understanding of this verse?
I understand this is a favorite "pet verse" by many dispensationalists (plus their obsession with Israel/Endtimes prophecy). ]]> Covenant Theology buggy http://www.puritanboard.com/f31/romans-11-28-a-54758/ http://www.puritanboard.com/f31/dispensationalism-looking-good-book-54657/ Sat, 24 Oct 2009 12:59:40 GMT I am looking for a good book that really explains the history and doctrine of dispensationalism that is not 10,000 pages long :) If there are any online resources as well that you could recommend that would be great.

If there are any online resources as well that you could recommend that would be great.

I noticed that the majority of Reformed hold to Covenant theology which I am starting to read Christ and the Covenants O Palmer Robertson.

But why does John MacArthur hold to this view? Just curious to know what you might think about this. Also I am a frequent visitor to Phil Johnson's blog Pyromaniacs and he made this statement in one of his posts "Jim is a fellow-Calvidispiebaptogelical" I am assuming he means 1. A Calvinist 2. A dispensationalist 3. Padoebaptist ? So he is another Reformed person who is a dispensationalist? Just curious, how do you reconcile these two views of Reformed and dispensationalist.

I did see a few books, one by A.W. Pink a Study in Dispensationalism and I guess that one is good since he himself was one at one time??

So any suggestions for a newby in reformed theology to sink my teeth into this subject would be helpful.
