Covenant Lord and Cultic Boundary establishes Michael Beck as a balanced and brilliant biblical theological and philosophical thinker. It is a remarkable achievement that I highly recommend for those who are yearning for a comprehensive and coherent biblical worldview. It will be of immense value for those readers actively participating in God's work of evangelism in the global mission field. --Jeong Koo Jeon, professor of biblical and systematic theology, Faith Theological Seminary The creative and confessional exegetical insights of Meredith G. Kline (1922-2007) have broad application for Reformed faith and life today. In this thought-provoking book, Michael Beck focuses on the formative influence of Kline's covenant theology in the development of Reformed Two-Kingdom thought. Readers will especially appreciate Beck's measured, balanced, and meticulously documented assessment of Kline's engagement with the alternative Reformed approaches of theonomy, perspectivalism, and neo-Calvinism (all, in Kline's judgment, forms of monocovenantalism). --John R. Muether, professor of church history, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, FL
