"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--bolstering our faith in God and giving us hope for the future.
