					<description>Clarke,

If I may also make a shameless plug, THE book that clarified the Christological theme of the Scriptures for me was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Handling-Word-Truth-Gospel-Church/dp/0758600208/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_a&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Handling The Word of Truth&lt;/a&gt; by John Pless.  It was the only resource that really made sense of what had become a dispensational/covenental mess for me.  I'm not assuming it will be the same for you, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.

Blessings in Christ,
Adam</description>

					<description>Clarke,

Happy reading, and keep us updated.  Covenant Theology certainly has its strengths and it makes sense when subordinated to a Christ-centered hermeneutic.  When I dabbled in Covenant Theology a couple years ago, the best I could understand was that Reformed Christians believe Christ was delivered &lt;i&gt;because&lt;/i&gt; of the covenant with Abraham.  It made more sense to me that the covenants were made to serve God's pre-ordained purpose of redemption through Christ.

Also, I think you'll get lots of good insights about the nature of the Eucharist in the early church from Aquilina's book, though it'll be interested to hear what he says about the Sacrifice of the Mass.

Blessings in Christ,
