1689 Federalism Revisited
Not a monolithic movement: Among 1689 Federalists there is much variation. Any theological position contains variation within it. But theological positions exist because of unity/agreement on certain points. 1689 Federalism is a system of covenant theology unified around certain key points...

See above. I found Brandon’s clarification helpful, because I did get lost in trying to determine how many isolated covenants were identified by the 1689 Federalist. 1689 Federalism has some various views on the mosaic as I understand their position, but so do Presbyterians. But, in my opinion, they also overly isolate every other covenant not inaugurated in the NT.
I cannot get around the Abrahamic Not being an Administration of CoG (Acts 2 ) nor the post-fall covenant with Adam in Gen. 3. Was Abraham not a Gentile?
Is the 1689 Federalist view of the OT covenants, not similar to McArthurs’s Covenantal Structure?
