Description

Christians are people of the new covenant made by Jesus’ death on the cross. But what exactly is a covenant?

And how does Christ’s new covenant fullfil and complete all the other covenants that God made with his people in the Old Testament?

This gripping and highly readable book gives us a sweeping overview of the Bible as it charts the different “deals” that God has made with people in Scripture. It shows how the covenants with Abraham, David, Moses and others all foreshadow the new covenant to come in Jesus, and it helps us see with greater clarity the plan of God as it unfolds through the Bible story.

With practical application, and careful, generous discussion of some contentious issues in Christian thinking, this book will help believers of every stage get to grips with this central theme of the Bible.

“Good survey of OT & NT”

I read this book right after Richard Dawkins, "God Delusion" which traumatized me. This book actually referred to passages that Richard Dawkins mentioned in his book and answered many questions. He should read this book, too. None of the Christian reading materials should be read as a substitute of the Scripture. This book is good because it has made me understand the Scripture better and allowed me to read the Scripture in a different way. I also appreciate the fact that this book is not dense with academic nomenclatures. Very friendly to all levels of readers.

“Great book - good starting point for a youth group series?”

I've come back to this book as some of our youth group have been asking very good questions about why we seem to 'ignore' large parts of the Bible (like food laws), but take other parts (like the teaching on sex) really seriously. We're therefore doing a series of talks on the covenants as a Bible Overview, with a view to seeing what's changed and what's stayed the same in how humans relate to God throughout history. I'm really grateful for 'The Book of the Covenant' - great illustrations, clear structure, very readable, and full of great insights on how the Bible fits together that have been a big help to me. Highly recommended.
