Written by one of the leading Puritan theologians, this work offers a rich, detailed examination of the Covenant of Grace as it is dispensed by God to His people, effectually securing their salvation.
由主要的清教徒神学家之一所著，这部作品提供了对恩典之约丰富、详细的审查，正如神将其分赐给祂的百姓，有效地确保他们的救恩。

这篇论著以对圣经中盟约连贯性的仔细研究开篇，强调其根源在于神对亚伯拉罕的应许，并追溯其藉着基督的成就。
Cotton expounds on the covenant’s unmerited nature, emphasizing that it is solely God who initiates, sustains, and fulfills it, reflecting His absolute sovereignty and grace.

Through its twelve chapters, the book addresses critical questions about the covenant: What does it mean for God to give Himself to His people?

How is Christ the Mediator and Surety of the covenant?
基督如何是盟约的中保和担保人（Surety）？
How does the Holy Spirit apply the benefits of the covenant to the elect?

Cotton’s reflections on the implications of this covenant for assurance, sanctification, and the believer’s relationship with God are both deeply theological and immensely practical.
