Covenant Doctrine and Theology - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

Both Scripture
and human history are replete with derivatives of covenant and (especially)
God’s covenant with his people. The old covenant and new covenant are commonly
considered in covenant theology; yet, framed within the bounds of the old
covenant are also individual covenants, e.g. the Abrahamic covenant, the Mosaic
covenant, and the Davidic covenant. The aim of this paper is to secure a
theology of covenant in an overarching manner. Preceding the covenant of grace
between God and his people and that upon which it is founded is the covenant of
redemption between the three members of the Godhead. Stemming then from such a
covenant is the covenant of grace, which encompasses both God’s sovereign plan
and the responsibility of humankind. Upon this covenant of grace rests the
entirety of God’s workings. Therefore, the foundation of God’s work throughout
human history is his covenant with his people. Realizing the foundational
doctrine of covenant is vital to the Christian faith and life in Christ, for
covenant subsists as the foundation of Christian faith.
