Covenant Theology
Covenant Theology is a way of understanding how God interacts
with humanity. This view understands God's dealings with humanity in respect of
covenants (an agreement
between two parties) rather than dispensations (that says that God interacts
differently in different periods of time).
It represents the whole of scripture as covenantal in structure
and theme. There are several views within Covenant Theology, some believe there
is one Covenant and others believe two and still others believe in
more.
The two main covenants are covenant of works in the Old Testament made
between God and Adam, and the Covenant of Grace between the Father and the Son
where the Father promised to give the Son the elect and the Son must redeem
them.
Regardless of views on the number of covenants, the covenant(s)
have been made before the world was made (Heb. 13:20).
