How God Communicates His Covenants through Communion

God has always made promises to his people through covenants, and along with them given signs and meals to point to and confirm his blessings. In The Lord's Supper as the Sign and Meal of the New Covenant, professor Guy Prentiss Waters defines and explores the unity of the covenants in the Old and New Testaments.
