Excellent Book on Covenant Theology

I don't know why the previous writer(Jason from ID) would attack a book he hasn't read, but he's wrong as well as unclear. This is a well done, brief account of some of the factors going into the Heidelburg Catechism. The only controversial aspect of the book is that the author gives a larger role to Olevianus than is usually assumed by previous historians. All in all, a well reasoned book.
