"The Ordinance of Covenanting" by John Cunningham is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the concept of covenanting as a solemn and religious act of entering into an agreement with God, emphasizing its significance in both personal and social contexts. Cunningham explores various aspects of covenants, including definitions, conditions, and duties, while drawing on scriptural references to illustrate the importance of this practice in the life
of believers. The opening of the work introduces the topic of covenanting, outlining its nature, functions, and relevance in the context of religious observance. Cunningham sets the stage for an in-depth examination by discussing the meaning of a covenant, which is defined as a voluntary agreement between parties, particularly between God and humanity. The author emphasizes that covenanting is not merely ceremonial; rather, it forms a crucial aspect of the believer's relationship with God, highlighting the importance of mutual commitment and duty. He encourages a thorough investigation and understanding of this fundamental theme in scripture, underscoring its historical and contemporary significance in promoting faith and spiritual obedience.
