If a person (namely "moi") has been a believer for some 20-odd years, and has recently abandonded dispensationalism, what "entry-level" resource would you suggest for them on covenant theology?

Bill,
I would start w/ Matts short book. It can be gotten here:

http://www.puritanpublications.com/Books/SimpleOverview.htm

Then I would go for Owens work on the covenant:

Christ Of The Covenants by by O. Palmer Robertson. Copies abound. Here is the entry, reviews and description at Amazon.

Bill,

If you want just a short opener that is very helpful I think in its compactness and scope I'd get Horton's new "God of Promise - An Introduction To Covenant Theology". It's short but pacted and a pretty quick read. A very encouraging, Gospel, book.

That's my two cents,

Blessings,

Larry

I recommend this website http://www.upper-register.com, it covers a lot. I especially recommend the Irons teachings on The Introduction to Kline:

Scott - thanks. I ordered Matt's book last evening (Monday). I need to start somewhere and why not start with a PB publication?
