This is a phenominal book!
Gentry did a stellar job in applying Biblical Theology principles to the concept of covenants in the Bible in chapters 4-15. Here the gargantuan job of scouring the Scriptures with regards to the covenants and related data is presented in great detail.
Wellum wrote the introductory chapters and then applied Systematic Theology principles to Gentry's data to write the Systematic Theology formulated chapters 16-17.
For those who don't want to work through Gentry's chapters and all its technical data can go straight to Wellum's chapters.
In fact, the book is worth it even if you do only read Wellum's chapters. However, if you want to know how Wellum came to his conclusions, then Gentry's chapters are essential.
Apart from a few questions I have, all in all it is an excellent book!
