Interacting with Vos, Murray and Robertson, Dr. Coppes develops the covenant theme (the Covenants of Redemption, Works and Grace) in harmony with the Bible and the Westminster Standards. Analyzing, synthesizing and exegeting a host of relevant biblical material, the author is thoroughly rooted in the Biblical Theology of the Scriptures, tracing and expounding the clear meanings and implications of the book of Genesis in a sequential manner. Arguing that the methodology of Biblical Theology neither impoverishes the text (pointing out the Trinitarian and covenantal love of God in the opening chapters of Genesis) nor imposes excessive Christo-typology, the book balances the flow of redemption with the fountainhead of the New Testament. "This timely book bridges the gap in Old Testament Biblical Theology studies by incorporating the New Testament explanations that the saints of old understood redemption more than a prima facia reading would indicate. Starting with and modifying Vos, Dr. Coppes' work incorporates the strengths of Murray and Robertson with an eye on Systematic Theology. A much needed work. An excellent read." Pastor S. Mathis
