"Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations."?
- Genesis 17:4
Throughout the Bible, God has related to His people through covenants. It is through these covenant relationships - which collectively serve as the foundation for God's promise to bring redemption to His people - that we can understand the advancement of His kingdom. This book walks through six covenants from Genesis to Revelation, helping us grasp the overarching narrative of Scripture and see the salvation God has planned for us since the beginning of time.
"There is nothing like an understanding of the covenants that God makes with his people to open one's eyes to the way God deals with his image bearers. It at once unlocks the whole Bible and makes plain God's way of salvation. Thomas Schreiner brings his theological and biblical acumen to bear upon this topic with the precision of an expert."?
