COVENANT THEOLOGY
The key of theology in Reformed thought and tradition
By Peter Golding. Christian Focus (Mentor). 236 pages
ISBN 1 85792 923 3
Peter Golding was converted under Lloyd-Jones, studied at London Bible College, pastored a Free Church in Middlesex for 30 years and is on the board of London Theological Seminary.
This book had its origin in his 1993 PhD thesis. It is academic in tone, with 12 pages of bibliography and 800 footnotes, but at the same time extremely well organised and clearly written. Golding claims that 'the idea of covenant is the principle in terms of which the saving relations of God to men are organised'. He describes the book as 'a modest attempt at survey, analysis and critique of the main streams of Reformed thinking on the Covenant-concept in Scripture. It is therefore a synthesis of historical, biblical and systematic theologies on the subject'.
