What is covenant theology?

Covenant theology is a theological framework that seeks to understand God's relationship with humanity throughout history by focusing on the idea of covenants. This perspective emphasizes the idea of a series of agreements or covenants that God has made with humanity, starting with the covenant between God and Adam in the Garden of Eden, followed by the covenant with Noah, the covenant with Abraham, the Mosaic covenant, and the new covenant through Jesus Christ. Covenant theologians believe that these covenants are interconnected and build upon each other, providing a cohesive understanding of God's purposes and plan in salvation history. This perspective emphasizes the continuity between the Old and New Testaments and views God's people as one united covenant community.
