Samuel Petto's (English Nonconformist, c. 1624 - 1711), The Great Mystery of the Covenant of Grace: or The Difference between the Old and New Covenant Stated and Explained (foreward by John Owen) is being republished by Tentmaker Publications. A brief review by John W. Tweeddale may be found here.

Is it being re-typeset or is it going to be a reprint from whenever it was last printed a few centuries ago?

Is it being re-typeset or is it going to be a reprint from whenever it was last printed a few centuries ago?

Phil Roberts says:

Petto will be available in a fortnight and will be UK£13.95. It is retypeset and the English has been updated to a degree (verbs other than those in Scripture quotations Etc.). The sentence structure has been retained and the only other change is the occasional archaic phrase replaced (where this is done I have usually put the original as a footnote). All this has been to increase readability without loosing the structure or argument of the original. It also contains a new, detailed 24pp introduction to Petto and his works.

Thanks for mentioning this. I said something on the HB but neglected to do here.

This is a terrific opportunity to get another good view of Reformed covenant theology.

[MW]

The works of Blake, Burgess, or Roberts should have been reprinted before Petto. At least Ball received the right priority.

 

[C. Matthew McMahon]

We are working on Theodore Beza right now, but we have Blake in sight. FYI.

Absolutely.

One of the great needs, it seems to me, is to get the great continental theologians translated into English (Cloppenburg, Voetius, Maastricht, Cocceius, Polanus, Junius, etc.).
