The Bible is organized into six covenants God makes with people: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and the new covenant in Jesus Christ. How do these covenants relate to each other, and how do the earlier ones apply (or not) to followers of Jesus who live in the new covenant? Two great approaches to this question have dominated Protestant thinking, with quite different implications for how we read the Bible and how we engage with our modern world. Does the Old Testament law have anything to do with us today? What should we expect of the end times? How does the Bible engage even modern politics? Understanding Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism will bring clarity to the different approaches Christians take to these and other crucial questions.
