“As young couples learn in pre-marital counselling, it’s important to know what marriage is before taking such a big step. God uses the marital analogy for our relationship with him: a covenant. If you want to grow in your relationship with the Lord, exploring the Bible’s rich teaching on this subject is an essential foundation. And with this well-informed and accessible introduction, you’ll grow in your appreciation for our ever-faithful Triune God. It is a pleasure to commend such an outstanding resource.” - Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California.
“In Faithful God, Antonio Coppola provides a concise, clear, and Christ-centred introduction to the covenant bond between our Sovereign Creator-Redeemer and us, his (shamefully) unfaithful, yet still beloved people. This relationship shapes the Bible’s history of redemption, and it unlocks the treasures of Scripture’s multifaceted display of God’s amazing, ever-faithful grace in Jesus. Read, learn, and worship in wonder.” - Dennis E. Johnson, Professor Emeritus of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California; author, Walking with Jesus through His Word: Discovering Christ in All the Scriptures.
“Faithful God is a welcome indigenous contribution to theological discourse in South Africa. Antonio Coppola provides a clear introduction to God’s covenantal relationship to the church and the world. This refined confessional Reformed perspective is much needed in a context where conceptions of covenant and cultural engagement have threatened clarity on the gospel and the mission of the church.” - Simon Jooste, Pastor of Reformed Church Southern Suburbs, Cape Town, South Africa.
“God’s covenants with his people appear throughout the pages of holy writ, and thus any Bible-believing Christian should seek to survey, study, and soak in this truth. Antonio Coppola has written an accessible and brief introduction to help Christians understand this vital doctrine. Grounded in Scripture and clearly presented, Faithful God: An Introduction to Covenant Theology is an excellent place to begin studying God’s covenants and a wonderful refresher for those already familiar with the topic.” - J.V. Fesko, Harriet Barbour Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi.
“Faithful God contains sound biblical truths that are practical and useful. In the book, Antonio Coppola answers key questions regarding our identity in relation to God and his covenants. This book is timely, necessary and biblical.”- Tiaan Jordaan, Pastor, Die Kruis, Pretoria, South Africa.
“Reformed Theology is growing slowly but surely in Africa. The best way to understand it is by studying the covenants God made with his people throughout Scripture. In this book, Antonio Coppola makes it easier to do this. He paints a picture of the covenant God who not only is a covenant-keeping God, but who also creates a covenant people. He demonstrates how the covenants hold Old and New Testaments together and helps us make sense of God’s covenant relationship with us. If you are new to Reformed theology and you want to understand how God relates to you and the church, this is your book.” - Victor Nakah, International Director Africa, Mission to the World (MTW).
