Praise for Far as the Curse is Found

Will help readers understand the Bible’s covenantal structure and character, glory in God’s covenant faithfulness, and see in Jesus the fullness of God’s covenant now and forever. Drawing from a wide range of Reformed and evangelical scholarship, and rooted firmly in the Scriptures, Williams’s account is unique in its approach, thorough in its development, compelling in its argument, and timely in its arrival.

—T. M. Moore

Combines four emphases in a remarkably fresh way: exegetical faithfulness, biblical-theological wisdom, awareness of contributions already made, and evangelistic and pastoral fire. I am not aware of anything quite like it. What a wonderful book!

—William Edgar

When I used a prepublication copy to teach seminary students, they found the book to be reader-friendly and the story of the intimate connection between creation and redemption easy to follow. They were deeply moved by the power of the Bible’s own covenant narrative. Some were surprised to be opened to new ways of looking at God, his world, salvation, and themselves. The book is clear, thoughtful, and faithful to Scripture.

—Robert A. Peterson
