A little dry, but definitely packed full of information. I read this for a church study, and I do think I came away with a much better understanding of covenant theology, so mission accomplished there.

A good overview of covenants as used in Scripture. Towards the end, Schreiner includes his expected Baptist learnings and goes where I can no longer follow. Still, there is a lot of good information here in this short work.

Solid but brief overview of the various major covenants found in Scripture. I can tell it was a probably a scholarly work modified to be more accessible (i.e. it was a little dry), but definitely a good read that deepened my understanding of God's greater plan of salvation for mankind revealed from Genesis to Revelation.

Read this for class - super good! Thought provoking and stirring. It emphasizes the importance of covenants and shows how all of scripture rests on top of the promises God has made for us and is waiting for Christ's return to completely fulfill. So good!!!

Good intro, several areas to take issue with, but Schreiner is non-dogmatic on several of these. It still carries some assumptions that need testing though.
