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.

Reading this clear and extremely well illustrated book, I was very struck by the fact that if I could get a good grasp of this one word 'Covenant', then it's like an axe blade that enables me to open up not just every book of the Bible, but every chapter.  I pray that many will internalise this outstanding tool of Biblical understanding.

Youth and Children's Ministry Programme Director, Oak Hill Theological College

This is a thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well written book. It has a fluidity to it that makes it hard to put down! It is a thrilling read as it clearly unpacks the concept and significance of God’s covenantal relationships with his people through the biblical narrative. Above all though this book will warm your heart and encourage you spiritually as it helps you to rejoice in the God of the covenant and leads you to the Lord Jesus.

Robin Weekes

Senior Minister, Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon

A stimulating book helping us to grasp the wonder of the gospel and what it means for God to be our God and for us to be His people.
