The Federal Vision and Covenant Theology (Used Copy)

Description

A comparative and critical study of “Federal Vision” that contrasts it with the concept of covenant theology.

“It is clear from Waters’s critique that the new Federal Vision theologians desire to be biblical, a goal all of us gladly share. What we most earnestly want is not victory in theological debate but unity in biblical understanding. We are indebted to Waters for advancing the discussion along biblical lines ‘in the bond of peace.'”

CONDITION: Very good

—David Calhoun

“Preferring light to heat, Waters has done an admirable job of allowing his interlocutors to speak for themselves. He offers clear-headed, exegetically grounded responses.”

—Michael Horton
