Today, virtually all schools of biblical interpretation have come to recognize the importance of covenants for understanding the central message of Scripture.
Scripture clearly testifies to the importance of divine covenants. God has repeatedly entered into covenant relationships with specific people. There are explicit references to a divine covenant established with Noah, Abraham, Israel, and David. Israel's prophets anticipated the coming of the "new covenant," and Christ himself spoke of the Last Supper using covenant language.
In this book, O. Palmer Robertson leaves no stone unturned in explaining the covenants of the Bible. By exploring each covenant in depth, he helps us understand their unity, diversity, and place in the history of redemption.
