The Divine Covenants

by Arthur W. Pink

Book Overview

The covenants occupy no subordinate place on the pages of divine revelation, as even a superficial perusal of Scripture will show. The word covenant is found no fewer than twenty-five times in the very first book of the Bible; and occurs again scores of times in the remaining books of the Pentateuch, in the Psalms and in the Prophets.

A Review

Most people familiar with Reformed theology have read or at the very least heard of O. Palmer Roberson's "The Christ of the Covenants." It's a standard text for a paedo-baptist view of covenant theology that I have enjoyed reading, but many have seemed to have forgotten A.W. Pink's work "The Divine Covenants." Pink undertakes the explanation of the credo-baptist view of covenant theology and is very convincing. I believe this work should be on the bookshelf of every Baptist of a Calvinistic ilk. It should be a standard for Calvinistic Baptists. Pink offers a very well structured, thought through presentation of the covenants found in the Bible using the overarching theme of the Everlasting Covenant. He then moves through the Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Sinaitic, Davidic and Messianic covenants. The last chapter titled "The Covenant Allegory" deals briefly with the spiritual truths of Galatians 4 in light of the expounded covenants. Pink uses painstaking detail to present covenant theology as the truth of scripture. A quote from the work, It seems pitiable that at this late date it should be necessary to labor a point which ought to be obvious to all God's people. And obvious it would be, at least when pointed out to them, were it not that so many have had dust thrown into their eyes by carnal "dispensationalists" and hucksters of "prophecy." Alas, that I myself once had my own vision dimmed by them, and even now I often have to exert myself in order to refuse to look at things through their colored spectacles. That there were temporal benefits bestowed upon Noah and his seed in Jehovah's covenant grant is just as sure as that Noah built a tangible altar and offered real sacrifices thereon. But to confine those benefits to the temporal, and ignore (or deny) their spiritual import, is as excuseless as would be a failure to discern Christ and His sacrifice in what Noah presented and which was a "sweet savour" unto God.
