There is someone I find quite fascinating to read when it comes to the Old and New Covenants.
I am speaking of John Owen, who when one reads him. He sounds like a Baptist contemporary like Nehemiah Coxe who is credited as the (or one of) editor/s of the 1689 LBCF.
However, John Owen is a little more nuanced, and remained a Paedo-Baptist.
A great book, I started but need to press into more when things slow down at home (death in the family and an engagement of my oldest daughter) is called: ‘Covenant Theology from Adam to Christ.’

Quite eye opening when you do that actually. Especially, when you run into people from both sides, who seem like they hate each other and speak right past each other.
By the way, I am learning (sometimes the hard way); that when that occurs. Rarely does it help to try to play peacemaker. You end up having both sides attack you.
Of late, maybe because I am a senior? I am feeling the need to cut down on my discussions and theology discussion boards.
