In light of certain discussions I'm going to study this again...

Anyone have any good articles as well? Something specifically on hebrews 8?

I would suggest:
1. We and Our Children by Professor Hanko
2. Believers and Their Seed by Rev. Hoeksema

Greetings:

First, I might suggest that you read (or re-read) O. Palmer Robertson's book, The Christ of the Covenants. Or, you could read/re-read Witsius' Economy of the Covenants,

Samuel Miller's book, Infant Baptism is the best on the subject. I would steer clear of John Murray's book, Christian Baptism simply because Murray was weak on Covenantal Theology (he denied the Covenant of Works).

Hebrews 8 does not end what Paul is talking about when it comes to Jeremiah 31. His argument extends into chapters 9 and 10 as well.

Blessings on your research.

Well, if I may politely suggest that you read all sides of the debate and not just one side. That way you won't end up lop-sided. Murray may be wrong, but his arguments must be reckoned with.

The best simple introduction to covenant theology is Mike Horton's God of Promise . For something a little more exotic to see the other side try Paul Williamson's Sealed with an Oath .

Mike's new book on CT is an excellent place to begin. Then there's always:
