The Book of the Covenant

Rico Tice

Reading this clear and extremely well illustrated book, I was very struck by the fact that if I could get a good grasp of this one word 'Covenant', then it's like an axe blade that enables me to open up not just every book of the Bible, but every chapter.  I pray that many will internalise this outstanding tool of Biblical understanding.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well written book. It has a fluidity to it that makes it hard to put down! It is a thrilling read as it clearly unpacks the concept and significance of God’s covenantal relationships with his people through the biblical narrative. Above all though this book will warm your heart and encourage you spiritually as it helps you to rejoice in the God of the covenant and leads you to the Lord Jesus.

“Good survey of OT & NT”

I read this book right after Richard Dawkins, "God Delusion" which traumatized me. This book actually referred to passages that Richard Dawkins mentioned in his book and answered many questions. He should read this book, too. None of the Christian reading materials should be read as a substitute of the Scripture. This book is good because it has made me understand the Scripture better and allowed me to read the Scripture in a different way. I also appreciate the fact that this book is not dense with academic nomenclatures. Very friendly to all levels of readers.

“Great book - good starting point for a youth group series?”

I've come back to this book as some of our youth group have been asking very good questions about why we seem to 'ignore' large parts of the Bible (like food laws), but take other parts (like the teaching on sex) really seriously. We're therefore doing a series of talks on the covenants as a Bible Overview, with a view to seeing what's changed and what's stayed the same in how humans relate to God throughout history. I'm really grateful for 'The Book of the Covenant' - great illustrations, clear structure, very readable, and full of great insights on how the Bible fits together that have been a big help to me. Highly recommended.
