Book excerpt: "This book fills a void in the literature on covenant theology in the sixteenth century by exploring the exegetical debates and technical terminology underlying the crucial dogmatic developments of the period. It also provides important new insight into the thought of Johannes Cocceius by exploring his exegetical writings and grounding them in earlier federal thought." "Brian J. Lee's study focuses particularly on Johannes Cocceius' 1659 Hebrews commentary in its polemical context. It reveals the importance of testamentary relations in Cocceius' thought and demonstrates both the variety and the significant continuities within the Reformed federal tradition." --Book Jacket.
