An intro to covenant theology

If you asked me a few years ago what the main/defining characteristic of Reformed theology was I would have said the five doctrines popularly known as TULIP. Those are important. But ask me today and I'd say the main/defining characteristic of Reformed theology is it's understanding of the Covenants. I've been listening to a very helpful intro to covenant theology given by Ligon Duncan in 2002. He explains how it is "the Bible's way of explaining and deepening our understanding of four things." 1) The Atonement 2) Assurance 3) The Sacraments 4) The Continuity of Redemptive History
