This is the best treatment of the study of covenants from the Protestant scholastic era of the 17th century. These scholars took not only biblical scholarship and the original languages seriously, they took the church fathers serious as well. Wistius shows how Christ is virtually on every page in the Old Testament and he shows that there is one overarching covenant--the covenant of grace. Fascinating, in-depth, yet highly readable. i encourage this book as mandatory for all seminary students.

There currently seem to be two Amazon pages for Witsius's "The Economy of the Covenants..." with the cathedral cover art (there are other published versions); this one and http://www.amazon.com/Economy-Covenants-Between-God-Comprehending/dp/1142423026/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290807709&sr=8-2

Read my review on the hyperlinked product page if you are interested in buying this. My hypothesis is that this product page is offering volume 2 of "The Economy...". The hyperlinked page is certainly offering volume 1, and the book title on that page is slightly different from the one on this page.
