About This Book

This treatise examines the theological meaning, forms, and duties of covenanting with God, defining covenant and covenanting, distinguishing vows, oaths, and confession, and detailing personal and social (churchly and national) acts of covenant renewal and commitment. Grounded in Scripture, it discusses how covenanting relates to redemption and the covenant of grace, considers the conditions, obligations, and signs attendant on solemn pledges, and argues for disciplined observance against both excessive analysis and superficial treatment. Practical guidance on performance, spiritual motives, and the historical and ecclesiastical contexts rounds out a devotional and doctrinal account of covenant practice.
