In case our blog's readers haven't noticed yet, over at the 1689 Federalism website, on their books page, is a sign up form to be notified when the forthcoming book, Recovering a Covenantal Heritage: Essays in Baptist Covenant Theology, is published.
It promises to be an important work from a collection of excellent Reformed Baptist scholars, including our own Jeff Johnson. Richard Barcellos posted here back in February that he is editing the book.
Here is the description given on the sign up page:

I recently read Baptist Pastor Hal Brunson's book, The Rickety Bridge and the Broken Mirror. In that work he points out that the promise spoken of in Acts 2 is the one made to David about the Son he would have Who would be a forever King with out end. The paedobaptists not only get the verse wrong, they get the promise it refers to wrong as well!
