“Covenant Theology: From Adam to Christ” is a reprint of Nehemiah Coxe on God’s Covenants with Adam-Abraham and John Owen on God’s Covenants with Moses-the New Covenant. Coxe believed that John Owen (despite being a Congregationalist and coming to different conclusions concerning the relation of the New Covenant to the children of believers) had written so excellently on the covenants God made with Adam and Abraham there was no need for him to offer his own discourse on the matter.

This volume, researched and edited by Prof James M. Renihan of International Reformed Baptist Seminary (IRBS) is Coxe and Owen assembled into one volume on Covenant Theology, giving us the history of God’s covenantal dealings with humanity from beginning to end. It has been widely used throughout the world and continues to be a staple for those seeking to understand the teaching of the 17th Century Particular Baptists on Covenant Theology.

To study this subject more, consider reading this book alongside ‘Recovering a Covenantal Heritage: Essays in Baptist Covenant Theology‘ which has a series of contributors delving into different aspects of the Covenant Theology of Nehemiah Coxe, John Owen and other theologians of the past.
