Regarding the attempt to develop a systematic New Covenant Theology, probably the first book written was by the late Carl B. Hoch, professor of New Testament at Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. Dr. Hoch's book is entitled, "All Things New." In my opinion, Dr. Hoch's book is the prerequisite for all other books following. It was published by Baker in 1995. The ISBN number is as follows: 0-8010-2048-4 (pbk) Through Christ, WWS
