Biblical Theology of Covenant

The idea of “covenant is a very important concept in biblical theology. The concept exists at significant turning points in the Bible’s storyline and is the theological glue that binds God’s promise to fulfilment.

Although the Bible does not explicitly mention a covenant until Gen 6:18, when God announces that he intends to establish a covenant with Noah, many believe that God made a covenant with Adam (cf. Hos 6:7).

In this lesson, we will discuss the major divine-human covenants, including Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and the New covenant, in terms of how they support and advance God’s redemptive plan.
