Baptist Covenant Theology
For the longest time, I really didn't know what Covenant Theology was, especially not Baptist Covenant Theology. I had heard some objections raised against CT in general, and looked up a chart[1] that explained a few things. However, it wasn't until I ran across these audio files from the 2005 SBC Founders' conference (not to mention some of Sam Waldron's recent articles) did I really understand it properly, and I'm definitely convinced by it. I'm happy to say that I'm a real Reformed Baptist now, not just in my soteriology. :)
In any case, these audio files are well worth your time, and if you are looking for some good, modern information about Reformed Baptist CT then you're in for a treat!

Waldron's book or tract, A Reformed Baptist Manifesto, is also excellent.
God Bless

That's one I'd love to get my hands on pretty soon. The audio was great, but I'd like to have something in print in front of me to examine.

Something I should note here:
My current church leans more toward Progressive Dispensationalism rather than Baptist CT. That being the case, I wanted to make perfectly clear that by taking the stance that I have (which I am still learning about by the way), I am in NO WAY attempting to undermine my elders or the stance of my church.
I am also not seeking to change the doctrinal stance of my church, and planned on limiting any conversations I would have about it to be between the elders (probably just the senior pastor) and myself.
There. Just in case there was any ambiguity, I wanted to make that clear.

Hey Dave old friend,
Looking at the chart that you linked to confirmed what I expected. I fit closest with NCT (New Covenant Theology). I haven't listened to the audio yet, but I've downloaded them. Looks like good stuff.

I thought that myself too -- until I learned what CT actually meant by a few terms and what the teaching of the Covenants truly was, not to mention the NCT dismissal of the law of God (even the moral law to a large extent if not completely). Worth listening to.

By the way, the book that Howard mentioned as well as others from a Reformed Baptist perspective can be found at Solid Ground Christian books at this link.
